| sethnintendo said: Problem with religion is that they offer "answers" to question that can't be scientifically proven. No one knows what will happen when we die and we can't rely on personal testimony of people that have near death experience. I actually had a near death experience in one of my dreams and I was floating above my body. So there will always be religion until humans get over the fear of death. Fear is the biggest ally of religion. |
Yeah, exactly. The basis of it seems to be that we are terrified of ceasing to exist. But if there is something after this, then we will never really die.
I think this psychological trait is at play even in completely secular mass movements. Even if you pass away and are no more, you live on through the glorious revolution or whatever and so you didn't exist in vain.
