[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you die, you just die.  There's nothig afterwards.  You don't get rewards for being good or punishment for being bad.  Why do you all need to cling to an imagined afterlife to make your lives on earth meaningful?  You all sound so sad.[/quote]

Many people were taught to believe these things as children, and in many ways, our majority Christian society supports these beliefs, so it can be hard to look at them with adult eyes.[/quote]

How above it all you are with your adult ways.  :roll: [/quote]

Not at all.  We all change in many ways as we become adults.  We don't cry as easily; we don't feel as helpless (because we aren't); we learn how to make decisions for ourselves; and we figure things more out for ourselves instead of relying on an authority.

In some cases, we keep the same beliefs and behaviors that we had as children - we may still be kind, or jealous, or decisive or credulous.  We may think about some things in more detail, using internal and external resources not available to us as children, or we may think about some things less or not at all. Attitudes about religion certainly fit in with things we may or may not relate to differently when we're adults.[/quote]
