Sadness.
A friend posted this on Facebook. She is an intelligent woman - very pleasant. At one time I would have agreed with the sentiment. Now I just find it a little heartbreaking. Imagine living your entire life, focused only on an un-provable fantasy about what will happen to you after death. And the only important thing in your life is keeping an imaginary sky-daddy happy so you get to go to the good place after you die.
I have personally witnessed the misery and evil that this mindset creates. I have witnessed families torn apart by parents who believe that god will send them to hell if they don't disown their children. I have witnessed the fear of children, praying to be "good enough" so they will get into heaven instead of burning. When will this madness end?
