No, its just another way for people to get around the idea that death is the end. We have this thing called life, and death is the end of life: That means that logically there cant be more life after the end of life. It just doesn't make sense to me. I think people believe … Read more

Religion is about control, and the folks who wrote those "holy" texts weren't stupid- they knew that the best way to keep people believing (and thus giving them power and/or wealth) was to scare them into staying in the fold.
