Why religion is dying my perspective

[robvalue]

I think that fear of death may actually be partially taught. If your parents make out that you basically live forever, then you're not mentally preparing yourself for reality as your brain develops. When you realize that's a load of shit, there will be a jarring effect and suddenly infinite years have been taken off your existence.

If instead death is explained in a sensible way, when you are old enough to understand it, I think it can be more easily accepted. I've never had a problem with it at all. No false promises were made to me about it, and I've grown up accepting that it's coming but there's no point fretting about it.
