RE: Comfort in Faith at Death

I DEFINITELY wish I had that comfort. I think my fear of death is much higher than that of the average individual because I believe the future of humanity is fantastic and I very much want to see it and be a part of it. So I have cultivated naturalistic, scientific possibilities for life after death my whole life. There is some small comfort there as there ARE possibilities but the rational, logical side of me is forced to acknowledge that they are probably wishful thinking. I will try to cling to some small hope on my death bed but I will not have the comfort your mother allegedly has. I DEFINITELY envy her that.

That said, I must invoke Spock in Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few. IMO, religion does more damage to society than it does good. Therefor, I will oppose it - while not begrudging those like your mom who derive comfort from it at the worst time.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
