Or have you accepted someone elses beliefs as your fate and already given up? Im not saying you feel or think this way personally I am asking what you think of these things.
I don't feel that there is noting more to you then where you end? but that would be the conclusion if you believed that death meant ceasing to exist. I personally believe that there is a heaven. What you were referring to about at least dying believing something has been contemplated for centuries. You, my friend, have a philosphers mind. "Pascal's wager" in the belief of religion is that even if you do not believe in God, you're better off wagering that he does exist. Because if you're right and God does exist, then you've made the right decision. But if you were wrong, and God doesn't exist, there was no harm done. But imagine that you don't believe in God. Now if you die, and God does exist, you get the shaft. Basically...It's a win/win situation to believe in God and after-life.
