Im a Chrisitan also!
No, im not afraid of death - I know I am going to be with the Lord, its only my body will die one day! This life is a temporary assignment, a preparation for Heaven, so let's take as many people with us as we possibly can.

The only thing I fear about death is the pain that may accompany it.
I had a very close call with it (someone tried to stab me to death), and as I lay waiting for the paramedics to come, all I could think of was "This is a situation where I have absolutely no control, Lord, and it's all up to You. If it's time for me to leave, okay, but--I wish my boys were a little older." (My sons were 8 and 14, and the 14-year-old had developmental disabilities.)
I can honestly say all I felt was a great sense of peace--and when I awoke in the ICU following six hours of surgery, I knew that my time wasn't up quite yet.
By the way, the boys are now 30 and 24.

I do not fear death at all,I fear somewhat by what means I will die.
I am christian, a avid Bible reader.I am not programed or brainwashed.I know from my own real life encounters Angels are with us .I know there is eternal life,I don't know when .One example Jesus will raise the living and the dead.So perhaps we are dead until judgment day.Another Saul who will now be called Paul, is that evidence of reincarnation? Why a name change ? there were many john's and mary's .I know Jesus is the way, The truth, The light,however I am still on a journey of learning.

No, I don't fear death. I might be afraid of DYING, though, I hope it will not be painful.
I am a german witch who believes in several rebirthings before eventually finding eternal peace.
I know I have been on earth several times before (have some tiny bits of memory left that should have been erased, but made it through), and I think this current lifetime cannot be my last one. There is still so much to learn.
In my faith I belief that Hekate will pick me up when it is my time (I totally trust her not to get me before my time!), she will carry me (along with the other dead) through the wind, to a place of unconscience (spelling?), until it will be time for my next "round" (life) on earth.
Or is it earth at all? I have no idea. Maybe there are many planets, and earth is only one we are born on? This is pure speculation of mine, there is no prove at all for that theory. It just makes sense to me.

I don't fear death, because my death happened long ago. I believe that at the instant the visible universe began, all of space time was created. My past, present, and future were all created simultaneously. My viewing time as something that moves is, in my belief, only an illusion of the entropic arrow.
Further, since I don't believe in an afterlife, there's nothing to which I look forward to nor dread on the otherside of my death.
Ultimately, death is the end of our joys and sufferings. I'd like to live a long life but my death is as set in stone now as my birth was set in stone 12-15 billion years ago.
What's there to fear?

I am non-religouse bt very spiritual.
I used to fear death mainly bc I feel uncertain of what will be. Will there be an after life or reincarnation or will it just be nothing like before birth (assuming there was no life beforehand).
I feared it until I lost my newborn and now when Im dying I will have so much to look forward to,my angel son in Heaven.

In a non-suicidal way I'm excited for death.
I still want to live my life to the fullest and see where God wants to take me in this time, but death is the beginning of life in heaven.
(Eternal life starts now though, if you are a Christian because when you become a Christian you gain life.)

I am not afraid of death because I know that I am right with the Lord and one day I am going to go to Heaven. So I am not afraid of death.
I believe that when we die that we will have eternal life and live again when Jesus comes back. I really looking forward to it. I tired of having to suffer the way I do. so pray for me.

no, i don't fear death because that just part of the cycle. i fear of not being with my loved ones because i will miss them greatly. i think our body on earth is just temporary and we have to take good care the best we can while we still have it . our body is just borrow and when you borrow something it have to be return. so all we could look forward is eternal life. i wouldn't mind having eternal life just as long I'm with all my families and loved ones. that's the great joys for me

No, I do not fear death because of what I believe and who I believe which brings me peace of mind that there is life after death with the one who created me.
