That is very true.
One way I look at it is not the fear of death but the fear of life. If you really believed in the cult then you would kill yourself before you turned 8 to insure you get to the CK. Life is just one huge obstacle course and if you trip up you are screwed. FOREVERANDEVERANDEVERETC...!!!!111!22!!!!
This would have to make you hate life and wish for the day you died (of natural causes of course.)
Since I've accepted that death is "Boom Boom, Out go the lights" I find my self appreciating each day and the miracle of my conciousness that is manifested in nature.
No guilt trip, no shame. Just conciousness.
Oh and some Pat Travers Band.
