A religious experience

I'm here to bring you a religious experience. It's not hard to follow along my step by step instructions, and you do not need any previous religious experiences to participate.


Step one: Think about death. Think about someone you've loved or cared about a lot who died. Think about what you felt when they left you to embrace death.

Step two: Think about yourself dying. About never seeing your family again, about how totally unimportant you are, and how your death means nothing to the world.

Step three: Think about that you will be forgotten by future generations, think about all the people who have lived and how little you care about their lives and deaths.

Step four: Now think about closing your eyes for the last time, dying, only to open them again a second later to face eternity without pain and other mortal labours. Think about meeting again all those who you loved who passed away from you.


Basically that's it. The idea of an eternal life is and will always (at least until we actually figure out a way to do it) be a bestseller.


If were just now tempted by eternal life and happiness, well, congratulations! You've felt one of the many things that contribute to a continued common belief in that there is more to our existence than these simple few years we toil away and suffer on the face of planet earth.



How does it make you feel?

Are you suggesting that religion is only there because people are too scared to face up to reality?............I agree?

That's one point of religion... the other is explaining things that cannot be explained scientifically.

I find that thinking of death and what will happen when you die depressing. It makes you realise how unimportant you are.
On the other hand, it also challenges you to actually try to put your mark on society and history.

The wish for eternal life is based on fear of dying... fear of all those steps that you put down in the initial post. That fear will stay, even when people find a way to live forever, as whatever lives, can also die.

Every disturbed teenager on this forum will feel depressed now because of your post... realising how unimportant they are.
What they don't realise is that they CAN make a difference, if only they actually try.

That smells like bad philosophy to me

Oh... like that...
yeah, I find that absurd too (being a non-believer and all), but you have to understand that these norms and values have been around for much longer than our information/technology society, so people hang on to those believes since they are more familiar with them.
Affraid of change

And America is one of those countries where religion still is rooted deep (or whatever the phrase is).

I'm not attacking you. It's fairly important you understand what religion does and doesn't provide. Answering life's questions is just the vector; the "answers" aren't answers per se but mental dead-ends that help us cope with inconsistent and incorrect knowledge; the important aspect of religion is not meta-physical but practical. IMO.

PS. Marvin Minsky is better at this than me.

Makes me think if you posted that on a few teenage forums, you'll rid the world of a few more angsty depressed teens who would just go around chopping themselves up for attention and instead will actually go the whole nine yards and throw a seven.

How about

"No, go **** yourself"

I'm not here to come up with informed and intelligent discussion, I'm here, like everyone else, to amuse themselves in any way I see fit.

Ta.

Fifth_teletubbie is an unknown quantity at this point
There are two groups of religious people.

The first is the usually uneducated, usually not overly intelligent group who take a religion at face value. Unfortunately many leaders of said religions also belong to this group.

Then there are the ones that take the tenets of a faith, examine them and find them in accordance with their own set of personal values. To them the religion is more like a 'club' of likeminded individuals, with certain rituals to tie the group closer together and provide anchorage and regularity etc etc
