Quite literally people can not imagine the concept of non-existence. To have the core of your very being erased is a terrifying concept that people find hard to comprehend or live with, faith is a way to deal with the unknowable and to take control of life, so to escape being haunted by the shadow of death.

I totally agree with you.

I think so too, I think its just a way of consoling ourselves, as death is inevitable
