Actually... death wasn't part of God's plan. Apparently, death came from sin... so that's why people fear it. They fear seperation. I guess if you're truly spiritual like Jesus was, you would not fear death... and nobody is really that spiritual.. so, we all have an inherent fear in death.
And I think anyone who spends all their time worrying whether or not they are going to heaven or not when they die are the ones who don't realize God wants it to come naturally and be real. Not like purposely doing good deeds. I once saw a magnet that said "Jesus is watching! Hurry, act busy."
But anyway... I think all religions can justify their beliefs... there really shouldn't be a right or wrong. After all... as Christians say, we have no right to judge... only God can do that. But interesting statistic.
