Only Death does, and to that, just how I'm gonna go

It enters my mind, but I don't obcessively dwell on it.
Yes, there will be death and final judgement, but live a good life, help and love others, try in some way to leave the world a bit better than you found it, know and believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Do these things, and never let go of them, and you will have no reason to fear death and final judgement.
Read Ecclesiastes sometime. The theme of this book of the Bible is: Obey God's commands, but live a full, rich and happy life, as much as you are able to. Doing so (living a full and happy life, enjoying it) honors God, your Creator.
Look at your life as something that is God's, and he's just loaning it to you for a while - treat it well, just as you would anything that you would borrow from someone else.

No - at least not in the sense that I think you mean. I expect to die; I have no idea what will happen after that and there is absolutely no way of proving what will happen, and I don't believe that the answer to that is to be found in any book. So I believe that my task on this earth is to live as good a life as I can, and I'm afraid that most of what I read that's written by judgement-freaks rather puts me off the notion of wanting to follow their 'gospel.'

Stanley, yes it does enter into my mind, but it's not the forefront of what I think about in terms of Jesus Christ. As a Christian, I'm very grateful for having that relationship with Jesus as my Lord and savior. Because I grew up in a hellfire and brimstone preaching family, I understand the plan of salvation and the fear of not having that eternal security.
But, as a Christian, and knowing how people hate this doctrine, I'd rather focus on what living for Christ is all about. It's not about hellfire and brimstone. We have a long life on earth (hopefully), but our emphasis should be in LIVING our life for God, not in focusing on "life/fire insurance".

Certainly. Death, deception and bondage is what this world is about. That is why the righteous celebrate freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes I do . I also have a serious thought for all on this site who mock or do not believe in Christ.
Consider this
I would rather believer in God and the here after die and find out that there is no God
Than live my life without God then die and find out there is a God.

Sort of. I want to make an eternal difference, and don't want to die until I have. By that I mean help lead lots of people to Christ, strengthen fellow believers, etc. I want to hear "well done my good and faithful servant" more than anything else.

We have to take full advantage of the Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ if we wish to be judged worthy at the last day.

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Sometimes I think about death, but certainly not judgement because there is no God to judge anyone.
By the way dude...........what's with the caps?

Certainly I think of death now and then. I never consider religious judgement, though. There ain't no such thing.
