Comedian Doug Stanhope "If you really believe there is an afterlife of eternal bliss and happiness then why are you wearing a seatbelt?"?
So if you truly believe that a better life is waiting for you after this one, why do you take all neccessary precautions to stay alive? Can you honestly say with all your heart, that when you die, you go to a much better place?

Look, i know its law to wear a seatbelt - but the point of the question is, why are people so afraid to die, if upon dying you go to a wonderful place?
The fact that there will be a resurrection on to a restored paradise earth is no reason to carelessly toss away the life we have now. Life is precious and no sane, healthy individual wants to relinquish it. Additionally, Christians have a commission from Jesus Christ to preach the good news of God's kingdom throughout the entire inhabited earth in this most important time. (see Matthew 24:14) The dead can neither preach nor praise the true God, Jehovah.
Sometimes I ride my motorcycle with my eyes closed.... for the thrill... because I know very well that my time is up only when God says it is.
As far as wearing a seatbelt when in my car, I have to because we are commanded to follow the laws of the land (unless they directly contradict God's laws).
Here... have some woe.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
