As a Roman Catholic and very strong in my beliefs I find the question of what if life itself is it and after we die we simply cease to exist very scary. Any other religious people on here share my point of view that this question is rather scary I know there are many wonders to be thankful for but the question what if is very scary itself.

My personal opinion is that the worst thing would be to go to a place that was absolutely devoid of God's presence. As children of God we have never experienced the absence of good, even though there are times it feels that way, it has not occurred. Even if there are those who choose not to believe in God, they still live in the advantage of His presence. Consider a place of no light, no God presence - nothing but the absence of good. That scares me the very worst.

Then again, the description in revelation seems to be that one doesn't go anywhere, but is rather destroyed, utterly, with no continuation of the self. Perhaps its the same thing?

Could you give the reference for this because that is not what is said in Revelation? I would like to see what verse you are getting this from.

Is it really possible to have a place completely devoid of God's presence? God created everything, even hell. Since God is all powerful, it would be a dent on God's power not be able to be present in hell. Perhaps it's just that God ignores you in hell....I dunno...

Revelation 20:15
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
