------------------------------------------

the philo-religio part:
Christians,among all religious people, are the most fearful of death.
I think this is because we believe in the existence of heaven and hell.
Other religions believe in the cycle of life, karma, rebirth etc...
They don't fear death precisely because they knew exactly what would await
them in the afterlife. By their actions alone in this world they knew what
to expect in their next life. But Christians are never certain of what would
await them. I am not even sure we believe in an afterlife. Always lingering
at the back of our minds is the idea of hell and its everlasting fire and
of heaven and paradise. We do good because we want to go to heaven and not
because its the right thing to do. We refrain from doing bad things because we
are afraid we would go to hell.
tsk tsk tsk
kinda depressing and very embarrassing...
