Why I am fairly certain there is nothing after death

You won't dislike being dead either!

When I get there, no, I probably won't dislike it. But I think it is totally logical for me to fear death now if it means the end of my consciousness.

But the simple fact is that you won't like nor dislike it, because, you won't exist to know any difference.

To quote Epicurus:

"Why should I fear Death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do?"

Going off on a tangent one of my main issues with religion AND science is how the world is so unbelievably unfair to women: severe pain every month, pms, severe pain in childbirth, menopause, with no scientific need for it.

Spare a thought for us men who have to live with yee moaning about it.

Everyone saying they don't fear death is ridiculous. It's the most logical fear anyone can have. I personally am fairly sure that there is nothing after life and for this reason I greatly fear it. People are using a non-belief in after-life as an explanation for not fearing death (intellectual machismo?) when really it is religious people who should not fear death as they are going to paradise (lucky bastards :mad:).

So? I should still fear it now.
