Are you afraid of death?

ToddAndrews @ToddAndrews (107) • United States 26 Jan 08

cindawelch I am a Christian, and do believe in an eternal life after death. Heaven or Hell - it is your choice. You choose by accepting Jesus Christ or rejecting him. Heaven - eternity with God Hell - eternity in torture.
