[Serious] Comfort in Faith at Death
#45
RE: Comfort in Faith at Death
Quote:Think about it, anybody who is reflective, or self critical or moral is going to be thinking "I could have done more, I could have been better, I broke so many rules".

But these are not the sort of people who are likely to find comfort in death.  In fact, it could very convincingly be argued that the reflective and the self-critical and the moral are the sorts of people least likely to be religious.

One of the things religion is terrifically good at is inuring you to your own shortcomings.
