Personally, I find all the other eschatological possibilities much more disturbing. The heaven/hell dichotomy is unnerving on a lot of obvious levels. Reincarnation seems fraught with neverending suffering. And the idea of becoming a "ghost" or a spirit, forever consigned to haunt some old place is as terrible as it is ridiculous.

I'm looking forward to my hard earned non-existence, thank you very much.
