| I don't think it's a fear of death so much as a fear of what comes after it. Aside from the authoritarian angle of religion, I think that's why we created God, Heaven and Hell, 40 virgins or whatever else. It's the nothingness that terrifies us. After all, even if you are convinced you're going to Hell, at least you're going SOMEWHERE!
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
