once again, though, this doesn't make any sense. If you die and it's the end, that's it. Nothing happens, it's over, and there is no reason to be afraid. It will be just like being asleep, or being unconscious. Oblivion is where you were before you were born, and you certainly weren't afraid then.
there's more to be afraid of with the afterlife. What if it isn't what you expected? What if you end up in the wrong place? What if you have to live in pain for eternity? What if you just weren't good enough to make it to paradise? It's the afterlife you should be afraid of, not inexistence. Inexistence is nothing, and there's nothing to fear about nothing.
