The Bible teaches about death and resurrection....
But so does nature.
There's night: Death. Day: Resurrection
There's sleep: Death. Waking-up: Resurrection
There's Winter: Death. Spring: Resurrection
Unfortunately, religion and superstitious man-made teaching has confused a lot of people. But the above examples have been witnessed and experienced by every living creature on Earth.
So, to conclude: Death is like a long unconscious sleep until it's time for us to be resurrected back to life. Occam's Razor: the simplest answer is often the truest.
