Nope. I find it very hard to be afraid of that which doesn't exist.

I no longer believe in it, but see why people are constantly afraid of it. Hell is a great way to make people feel guilty. Frankly, I stopped believing in Hell long after I stopped believing in Heaven. No one knows what Heaven feels like. Everyone has some idea of Hell's supposed horrors, so it's a more realistic concept.

I'm not exactly sure about this but I think the real word for hell is sheol,which means grave,in that case we are all headed there like it or not.I'm not sure if i spelled it right either,I'm pulling this out of old faulty memory banks.

The rewards of the next life exist to make you ethical during this lifetime. This is the life time that matters.

Actualy am more afraid of Athiests being correct and absolutely nothing happening when you die. All those years, Your personality, Your soul suddenly snuff'd out. Gone, No after life, No reboot, Take 2, Matrix, Nothing. Absolutely and utter nothing you cease to exist.

That frightens me more than Heaven or Hell.

and those who remember you will die too, leaving no one to ever remember that at one point, the person that was you existed, and went through the experiences you did. It'll be as if you never existed, at all.

I don't see why that should scare me. That's life. Everyone is forgotten. Not a soul out there remembers the first man to control fire, or make use of a round stone as a wheel.

It's not frightening... just depressing. techstepgenr8tion made the case that we're all energy to begin with, and soon we will return and be one with the cosmos again, I guess that's some comfort?

It can be. On a shorter time scale, as your body rots you'll help fuel new life by providing nutrients.
