"The useage of the word implies that it always or at least almost always is." How do you feel about "fear of death." This seems to me to be a much more common issue in our culture. I am not afraid of death. It is inevitable that I will die and I consider that a positive out come of a life worth living. I can understand some person's reasons for fearing death. Rarely have I heard a person say they fear God's judgement and are afraid to face that. I suspect some people are afraid because death represents some "great unknown" and some people fear anything they don't understand. Not too many people have actually defined this as the source of their fear. It seems, however, that the vast majority of people in our culture do have a fear of death since most people tell me that they believe it is normal to fear death. So in the absense of a clear explanation for that, I have to determine that it is an "irrational fear" that impacts their courses of life in a big way. I have tried to bring this up as a topic before and not gotten any place because most of the dialogue is focused on a disbelief that I would not fear death.
