[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. In my mind, it's a clear fabrication to help people get through the pointlessness of life and the extreme grief of losing loved ones.[/quote]

This is so sad. I'm so glad I wasn't raised this way.[/quote]
I was raised that way I really wish I wasn't. It makes life so small and pointless.[/quote]

I've often wondered how someone who doesn't believe in any existence after this one keeps tucking away this bit of knowing, that all of this ends abruptly and then nothing. [/quote]

Maybe that person is concentrating on living life to the fullest and not worrying about things they can't change, like the course of nature -- of life and death that they see all around them

Maybe they are grateful for the incredible accident of being born in the first place and don't demand eternal life on to top of the great undeserved gift of being born.[/quote]

Unfortunately, they're not. They're most commonly enveloped in their made-up stupid, little, meaningless drama of some sort, drowning in their own pettiness. Not pretty.[/quote]

Speaking for myself and for some people I know, that is not the case.  Certainly the stories of many religions could be called "meaningless dramas."  People tend to think their story is true and very powerful, but find the other religions' stories laughable.  Mohammed flew to heaven on a winged horse?  Jesus visited America?  Jesus rose from the dead? Give me a break![/quote]

You sound very narrow-minded. I'm sure your daily drama provides you with much meaning, so carry on :-)[/quote]
