[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for people who "never bought it" even though you were exposed to religion as children, how did you deal with the fact that no religion means no afterlife? That is, how did you deal with the fact that life is finite; that you would die and that would be the end of it?[/quote] It made the life that I do have even more valuable and rich. I can't excuse any nastiness, pettiness, or immorality on my part by telling myself that I'm doing it for the next life. I don't have to wear anyone else's yoke or abide subserviently to anyone else's commands on the grounds that I'll be rewarded "later." And with hearty apologies to my religious friends who I love and respect deeply, I fervently believe that if everyone came around to my view that this earthly life is all we have and will ever have, the world would on balance be better for it because of the self-reflection that it would cause.[/quote]
