Does death freak you out?

I mean, even for atheists, doesn't it bother you that there could be something? Something totally non-supernatural, like maybe pain is just what death feels like?

Its the eternity that bugs me, unless materialism is the true story of consciousness. I don't understand why things like that hard problem, cartesian dualism, panpsychism, etc., doesn't freak more people out.

To me, there being no experience is a matter of faith. I have no faith in this universe to give me what I desire. If its really so cold and uncaring, why should it respect my sense of pain?
