Would You Find Greater Comfort In Death Knowing There Is No God, No Heaven Or Hell?

[RATTER15]

I am currently going through a prostate problem, the hospital appear to be rushing everything which has made me a little concerned, I wont lie.

When these things come along I suppose we do all ponder the thoughts of our death.
As an atheist I have nothing to fear in death, the end is the end, I will be no more, end of, the parrot is deceased etc.

However! if I was a believer I would have to consider, would I go to heaven or hell?
I know a great many Christians as most of us do. Many of them are very pleasant and a fair few are vile untrustworthy and truly unpleasant people. Will they consider their place after death I wonder. Of course, most religious people feel they are going to meet up with dead friends, loved ones and relatives etc, have they ever considered that many of their loved ones may have gone to hell!
I think If I did believe in heaven or hell, it could be a very worrying time, whilst I have been a fairly decent person in my adult years, I dont know it that would make me worthy of a place in heaven?
What are your thoughts. Personally i'm glad as hell I dont believe in such tripe!!

Theland's confused. Looking up synonyms for 'hate' would help.

Confused and troubled, and very unsure. When I have seen that much outward devotion it seems to be expressed by those most afraid of what will come

Must you?

I think it's a good question. I prefer to believe that you (all kinds of "you": cats, dogs, the pot plant and me ) live and then die, and that ought to be an observation about the real world, to be accepted, and not a matter of regret.
