Re: Fear of dying - Religious vs non-religious people
I have never feared death primarily because of my beliefs. When I am sitting on a plane in crazy turbulence and people are freaking, I calmly think, if it is my time to go there is nothing I can do about it. I actually am much more fearful of things I have some degree of control over. I have never worried about natural disasters, terrorist attacks, flyiing, etc. b/c I have no control and if it is meant to be my time it will be.
At the same time I do pray for forgiveness in these situations because of a fear I could be going to the wrong place if it is my time.
