I say Heaven and Hell > Dehumanizer > The Devil You Know > Mob Rules, making Dehumanizer totally worth getting as a stand-alone if you can find it. H&H, meanwhile, is the Dio version of Paranoid. Except better. But then, I never liked Paranoid much anyways (the debut was better, as was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath).
Anyways, back on ze topic:

You missed the point entirely. It says, excluding its aid in the past (evolution), presently we can cognitively transcend that since we are capable of realizing our insignificance.

Next time, you might want to consider spelling "Savvy" properly before assuming you're in the superior position.
I'll let Joseph Smith Sphinx reply to the actual point, though. I'm in agreeance with her general position anyhow.
But my take is that you are lying. You are not unafraid of death. I have two reasons proving that you - at least unconsciously - have not "transcended" your innate fear of death.
1. You find "thrill ride"-type activities fun. The fun derived from these activities is based off the adrenaline rush one gets from, say, bungee jumping (using this only as an example). The adrenaline rush is achieved because the body senses it is in a state of danger, and activates the fight-or-flight response, which is associated with fear. If you did not fear for your life, you would not receive this adrenaline rush and thus you would not find the activity fun.
2. You are a Christian. As a Christian, your body is a temple to the Lord. God gave you the gift of life, and to refuse one of God's gifts is to refuse God. That's why people who commit suicide are damned to suffering in Hell. One who legitimately has no fear of death (with the rare exception of genetic anomalies) would not truly care if they live or die, which, by the above points, is something akin to blaspheming. So from a Christian perspective, the people who are unafraid of death are the ones who truly deserve to be afraid.
