Read genisis, the bible as old as it is. Has been basically telling people in a modern day way of putting it. When you die human beings do not just float off into the ether, the black abyss. So if you die, your life here on earth will end your race will be over. And you will either be in heaven, or hell. If you got an orthodox study bible. Read at Sarah's notes at her death and burial. And, if you still have doubt. Look into Nde's Near death experiences, if you're still doubting trying using that as a temporary anchor, but eventually try to get into scripture. Cause from the very beginning the bible clearly says people do not just end up in total nothing after death.

And, if you truly believe then you really shouldn't be afraid of death, maybe be afraid of a painful death. But either way once we die however we never have to go through the process ever again.

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.

Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead.

>im unsure why everyone else is so cool with death

Because death is an inevitability. Why worry about the inevitable? Sure it seems scary, but if you live life according to Jesus' teachings you shouldn't have to fear death.

Now, not fearing death doesn't mean we will choose death over life (exempting situations where you become a martyr) because that is suicide. Suicide is a mortal sin after all.

Just remember this little quote from St. Augustine (pic related)

>We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: 'This way, please.' Do not hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you.

>I am totally scared witless that after death is nothing, oblivion. So much that I was softly pushed towards faith. Is it wrong that because I am afraid of death I started wanting to become a Christian?

No, that was the Holy Spirit trying to serve you a wake-up call, but it's still your choice if you choose to stay asleep.

For many are called, but few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14)

It's a shame you choose to twist God's Word with your satanic way of thinking. It's an even greater shame you choose to go to the pit to live with the devil instead of humbling yourself and following Jesus Christ. Adam chose to eat the forbidden fruit, and you made your choice. Good luck.
