How true it is. My wife believes all good people will either not die or be resurrected, and live forever here on earth. Of course its only people who are of her same religion who are gonna be saved.
It really is so simple to see, that most cant see it. They are afraid of death. Unable to come to terms with the fact that someday, they simply wont exist. So to they stroke their hair, like a small frightened child, and say its not so, you wont die, you can live forever. Every single religion has the same belief, same story different version.
I have posted in the religion threads and found most theists are smart, well intentioned, albeit scared of there own mortality, people.
When i finally realized there IS no god, my life became so much clearer. I stopped drinking so much, and life in general improved greatly.
When you realize this all you get, one chance to live your life, you start to make better use of it. I yearn for the day when religion is Finlay recognized for what it is. A place to stick your head in the sand, and not deal with the world and life.
