I've really been wondering what you guys would think about this. It's an interesting topic that I think most people think of sometime in their lives XDD
Obviously it's going to happen, I know that. I'd have to say that I'm "Somewhat" afraid mostly because I have no clue what happens afterwards, but there's no use stressing or fearing it terribly because it's one the things in life that is inevitable.
So what about you guys?

Somewhat ^^; I mean, I'm more afraid of pain than . If I die peacefully than I won't be afraid but I'm afraid of things that cause and what comes after. ^^;

Yeah, I'm afraid. I know it's gonna happen, no one lives forever (unless I can become a cyborg or somethin), and I can't prevent it, so in a way it's silly to fear death. You can't practically fear something that's inevitable, you gotta face it or shut it. So I guess I'm not afraid of death itself, but of the two things related to death. One: that I haven't done what I've wanted or needed to say or do to the people I love and leaving a legacy ("a reason to be missed" - Linkin Park), and two: facing God and paying for my sins (all I can say is I'm deathly afraid of that)

Somewhat. I used to be deathly afraid of it. Sometimes even the mention of the word death means nothing to me, and at others, especially with stuff regarding heaven and hell in Theology, it really friggin' creeps me out, making me wonder about the aftermath. >>

@empy: That's another factor that kinda scares me. If it's peacefully then it's fine. But a painful death is something that kinda scares me XD

I'm terrified of dying. There are so many things I'd like to do and accomplish and see. If I died, I'd never be able to finish anything. And death can be painful. I don't want to die by drowning or burning to death. Those are some of the worst ways to go. And what about after death? What if I end up going to Hell and then I burn for all eternity?

I'd prefer going out with a bang through a struggle that would make me feel like I did something with my life than dying passively, dying without a goal. plus, think of the wrinkles! i'm just glad there's no baldness in my family!

Yeah! I mean, the concept of it doesn't scare me but the things that can cause it really do. I mean, especially when it's self inflicted. I can't imagine hurting myself like that. Since I don't have a religion, I can't really say what I think will happen after either. It's just a confusing topic since no one knows what happens after you die.

Actually, not really. Even if I knew it would cause pain, I still wouldn't. I'm not really sure, but I don't really fear a lot of things. Though, I do, however, wonder what would happen afterwords. But I'm not afraid of it.

No one says you have to die heroically to feel like you've done something XDD And I wouldn't want to cut my life short because of wrinkles =P Though they do sound unappealing.

I don't want to bow down to death, I wanna face it like a man. It's God that I'm really afraid of. And the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death I Corinthians 15:26 (also a quote from Harry Potter!)

One of the only good things from Harry Potter =P Anyways. . .there's a lot of universal things that scare me, but I wouldn't say God scares me because I really don't know what to think about "God, heaven, etc." But death is something I believe in, and because of my doubt in God and all that other stuff I don't know what's going to happen afterwards. *shot* That's fine XD Heroic deaths are mighty
