But yea. This definately opened my eyes as to how little I actually know. It solidified my belief that existential certainty is an arrogant impossibility. And even that perspective is, by the very nature of its content, uncertain.
I don't understand. If you believe that God exists that is a certainty for you. If you think that he might not then you are agnostic, and not a deist as you state. If you believe in God you should not be afraid at all. That's why I feel kind of bad about not being a Christian anymore.

The problem with the concept of death is we make a connection with time, which is itself unreal. Eventuality has it that one "moment" you cease to exist in a conscious way. This is not a moment however, because the very concept is intagible. Dying is the passing from being in this world into not being being in this world. It cannot be pinpointed in a moment. Perhaps you could say that it is an infinitely small moment(an infinitesimal).
