I thought people latched onto religion so they wouldn't be afraid to die? snooper2 Oct 2014 #29

That's what I fucking thought. And these people in this fucking thread are losing it! Ask ChisolmTrailDem Oct 2014 #33

The process of dying is scary. Trillo Oct 2014 #19

But isn't the purpose of religion to alleviate the fear of dying by believing in a "better place"? ChisolmTrailDem Oct 2014 #35
