Why does that suck? Maybe you'll appreciate life more knowing that this is it, your one and only chance. And maybe your motives are purer if you lead a good life without expecting some kind of "reward" at the end of it.

I hate to bring it up as it's a boring old argument but there have been plenty of terrible acts committed by people who believe in God. Also there's many great saints who lived very sinful lives and repented. The thought of God being a vengeful one is awful to me. But whatever gets you through the day.
