Why do humans, theists and atheist alike afraid to die? Is it because we are hardwired to fear death or we are afraid of what lies ahead? What are your views please?

It is our basic human instinct to fear death regardless of whether we're atheist or theist. If you were a fireman in one of the twin towers & you just heard the news that the other tower. Just collapsed your basic human instinct would be to get out alive. Also if you were a passenger in a plane & you foundout that your plane was going to be used to ram into the whitehouse you would try to do your best to prevent it from happening in order to preserve your precious life.

Even an antelope in the jungle discovers that its being chased by a cheetah (who needs his next meal) will not just stand still & wait to be eaten. Its basic instinct is to runaway in order to save its precious life. Naturally the antelope fears death & wants to live.

The only difference between the atheist & the theist is that the atheist can handle the situation of fear a lot better than the theist can.

Life is too sweet... I thought xtians are made to believe that the after life is by far sweeter?

@topic, I won't say because we are hardwired to fear death.. I'll rather put it like this "we are hardwired to survive by all means"
Mother natures instinct for suvival is really hard to overcome, it'll take a lot of brain washing (eg in the case of suscide bombers) to overcome such instinct.

Yes, that fear of hell too is another thing lol

because some of us feel unfulfilled

If you dont fear death, what will you fear ? Death is the ultimate illusion, so the fear of death becomes the desire to stay alive and become god. We are hardwired to fear death.

Church is a waste of creative brain. Even the pastors dont know the f u c k they are preaching about.
