If all the christians you know fear death, then they're not true Christians.
I don't fear death and neither do any other christian that I know. For us christians, we know we're going to a better place after we do die.

See, that's what I don't get about many of the christians I've met; how can you be so sure that you're going to the better place?
And if your response is to say that you've accepted Christ as your saviour and that he died for your sins, then I say that that is an immoral viewpoint because it immediately gives you free reign to do whatever you want as long as you recant before you die.
In Judiasm there is the concept that there is no repentance without restitution; if you've wronged someone you must do your best the make it up to them. Prayer to God can only absolve personal sins but interpersonal sins (ie wronging another person) must involve some sort of apology.
