The question implies that "sense of comfort" comes from outside, and I fundamentally disagree with this concept. Good feelings come from INSIDE. Sometimes, they are kicked off by something from an external source (e.g. finding out someone you were worried about is safe), but ultimately, the actual sense of comfort comes from inside. Your brain is an amazingly sophisticated drug factory. So if I'm sad/upset, it's just something I'm doing. When I feel comfort, happiness, bliss, euphoria, or anything in between, it's ALSO something I'm doing. I just don't need to rationalize it as "Jesus is watching over me" to feel good. I have more effective ways of doing it.

Also, I don't get upset about the fact that we're all going to die.
