[Serious] Comfort in Faith at Death
#43
RE: Comfort in Faith at Death
(June 26, 2019 at 9:49 am)Gae Bolga Wrote: Fear and anxiety surrounding death is uniform to humanity, most of whom are religious.  A given believer being free from that probably shouldn’t be taken as representative.

Broadly, “the religious” live the same lives as anyone else and don’t have any cure for the human condition.  If we find ourselves wishing we had some specific resolve or calm, we’re likely admiring the individual, not their religion.

I think we can admire at least the aspect of a religion that provides comfort, albeit in a limited sense.
