Quote:I think the most alluring thing about religion for many individuals is the promise of an afterlife.

I suspect you are probably right... at least to the extent that brain dead believers won't risk Pascal's Wager on it.

Quote:What is the function that a clergyman performs in the world? Answer: he gets his living by assuring idiots that he can save them from an imaginary hell.
