If religious people truly know where they are going deep down, as they usually claim, why is death viewed as a bad thing? Why do we have threads dedicated to the victims of crimes, of wars, dead soliders? (and this is only hypothetical, I'm not that cold) Why do people cry at funerals? We're all gonna die, right?
And don't say that people cry only because they will miss that person until they meet them again in "Heaven" or wherever, because that wouldn't explain why people shake their heads and say "He/She died too young" and speak of death as if it's unfortunate to the person killed, not just those around him/her.
Is it possible many religious people aren't nearly as secure and completely confident in their beliefs as they'd have us think?
I've been wondering this for a while...if there's a Heaven then dying wouldn't be bad at all, y'know...
