I can remember how when I was young I believed death to be a phenomenon of the body; now I know it to be merely a function of the mind -- and that of the minds who suffer the bereavement. The nihilists say it is the end; the fundamentalists, the beginning; when in reality it is no more than a single tenant or family moving out of a tenement or a town.

Some people feel that others believe in God because they fear death. Why should I fear death if there is no God? There would be no judgment of my sins in that case. There is more cause to fear death if there IS a God - for all will be judged by Him after they cross the threshold of death.

Religion quotes

Those who have lived a good life do not fear death, but meet it calmly, and even long for it in the face of great suffering. But those who do not have a peaceful conscience, dread death as though life means nothing but physical torment. The challenge is to live our life so that we will be prepared for death when it comes.

It is hard to have patience with people who say ''There is no death'' or ''Death doesn't matter'.' There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
