That frightens me too, but annoyingly, I can't help but believe in an afterlife. My greatest fear, and the thing I was always thinking about when I was really bad was how everything started. That's what scared me the most, especially when I was dozing off to sleep at night, I'd suddenly think about it and fear would jolt through me.
I keep trying to make myself believe in God because at least then I think I'd feel more safe, but like you said, the idea really is ridiculous, isn't it. And although I definitely believe in the idea that we progress spiritually, it still scares me. People often say that believing in an afterlife is the easy way out, but since I've had dp I think that being an athiest is the easy way out. That way, there's far less to think about.
