There are, and have always been, those who trade on that fear, namely organized religions, who cater to that fear and use it to their advantage for both power and profit. It's not difficult, after living a life in which such individuals are led to believe that they are the centre of their little universe, and to convey the idea of their importance to god. With the alternative death being nothing but a return to water and maybe $5.00 worth of chemicals, a poor alternative to ascending into some place called heaven, there to experience eternal life; however mind numbingly boring that sounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939571.post-1133579575454033962005-12-02T19:12:00.000-08:002005-12-02T19:12:00.000-08:00I'd say that you're right...

Did you see that?<BR/>I haven't yet been asked about where I think I will go when I die, but I'm pretty sure that I'd answer, "in the ground" or "in the an oven." But I'm like you. I don't think of death often. I think it may be because I'm not afraid of dying...<BR/>I think that's why people want so badly to believe in a heaven. Out of fear of the unknown (the same reason that the believe in god).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
