Why would I need death to be easier to deal with? If I die that's tough.

The leading cause of death is being born in the first place. Abortion is the only solution.

Whats the harm in this belief?

Death is sad, we miss our loved ones when they go, but shes gone to a better place in the great beyond and well see grandma again one day son.

Vs.

Shes fucking dead. Shes a corpse rotting in the ground and thats it. Shes gone forever. In a few generations no one will remember her. Now eat your cereal.

but you have to make yourself actually believe it otherwise you know it's all bullshit and renders it pointless. and if you do actually believe it, why not then believe in every other fairytale/myth?

just because you don't believe in god/heaven/whatever doesn't mean this is your mindset about death.

I've straight up seen people say that they don't care about this life and are ultimately content with a crappy existence on this planet because they feel their reward is after death, in heaven. That's sad to me because if that's not true, then they straight up wasted their life and if they had known that this was all they had, maybe they would have done more to improve themselves when they had the chance.

I like my deities just like I like my hookers.

  1. I need to be able to see/touch them.
  2. Not being encouraged or forced to give them money.
  3. Not having to be commited to them one day a week.

IDK.
I've read/heard over the years of some religious families that refuse to take their children to see a doctor for "X" problem they had. The child later dies because they remained unattended .
"We thought that praying could cure him/her".

Now I know that not EVERY religious family is like that. But you asked to see the harm, well there's at least one example.

If you want sources, I refuse to provide them. I'm not going to look them up, that shit is sad. If you don't care to believe me, that's fine. I don't care. I just wanted to mention that. I had no intention of discussing it.

Being encouraged to give them money means jack since youre not obligated in any way to pay, and youre not committed to them one day a week. Although where do you find free hookers?

I think a lot of people dont want to believe in God because they think that they need to become hardasses who cant have a good time and need to be that annoying weirdo who is always trying to convert his friends.

Im still not seeing the problem with that explanation. Why not have them live believing that despite the horrific tragedy that occurred on Sunday, Kobe and his daughter walked hand in hand into a new journey together?

Im no pastor so dont quote me on this, but Jesus died for mankind so that they could get into Heaven regardless of the life they lived. Since no human could ever live a sinless life, he died to pay for our sins. Although lust is a sin, I dont think alcoholism is...

You can believe in god without necessarily abiding by any rules. Some schools of theological thought believe all will be saved, regardless.

iirc drinking to get drunk is. I'm pretty sure it's gluttony in a sense because you're consuming in excess.

Everyone you know who died is being tormented for the rest of eternity unless they met Gods standards, which people have been arguing about for thousands of years.

Oh yeah thats real reassuring.

Its easy to know who would go to Hell and who would go to heaven.
