Well...I'm scared of dying (who really isn't), but I hope there ISN'T an afterlife, and I am fairly religious.
I think you're dismissing the potential positive aspects JJ.
Like being humble, considerate, caring for the poor, etc.
And not being able to understand things?
Hey, we are just naked apes, there will ALWAYS be things we don't understand.
That isn't a call to superstition, just an acknowledgement of our limitations.
