I think it's a more peaceful state of mind to not be worried about eternal suffering. I'm going to die someday. You're going to die someday. You and I are dramatically different in many ways, but we'll both come to ashes or rot into bones. We are just human remains. Why should we care when we're going to die if it's unavoidable? Why not enjoy the thought that there is no suffering after death, especially if in many instances, suffering comes before death? I'd rather know that I'll feel nothing when I'm dead than to fear that Jesus will snark at my tattoos and damn me to hell.
