Reply to "Afraid of dying"

I don't understand why anyone gets so upset about everyone else's beliefs.  I mean if a person "knows" in his/her heart that s/he is going to heaven, then why judge others' beliefs or why try to convince everyone else s/he is wrong?  These are all beliefs and they are on faith, so why not have your own faith, everyone, and let others have theirs?

 

I can see caring about others' not being "saved" if that is your belief system, but I don't get beating them over the head with it or calling names, degrading them, or being nasty about differences.  In the long run we all go on our own journey when it's our time to go, and if your life is the best you could make it and you did what you could do to make the world a nicer place, then what does it matter if someone believes this way or that?  In the long run if you believe in God/gods/hell/heaven/being judged it will be your life that is judged and your own record of treating others, not how many people you managed to convince your way is right.  If there is free will then why would a person be judged on others' choices?  So why not focus on what we do ourselves instead of proving everyone else wrong?
