Has this topic been done to death? 😉

I wanted to add a bit more context to my article around how different cultures perceive death (which wasn't as easy as I'd expected) and one interesting point that I read was related to God and religion... the thinking being that people fear "the day of reckoning" which I think ties back to the last quote within my post.

I have a tried a few times but...

People generally fear what they don't understand. We don't understand (i.e. know) what happens after death so it is feared - perhaps brainwashed by "modern" cinema and the general perception that "ghosts" are scary.
