[Serious] Comfort in Faith at Death

[A Godzilla fan]

My condolences to you, and your mother. I really cannot imagine what it is like to go through this. And yes, you make a good point. I'm not really a fan of shitting on other people's religious beliefs. I find it rather counterproductive.

How do you feel about finding comfort in faith while dying? Please don't use my mother's situation as an example. I'm bound to take debate about it personally.

That part of religion is relatively harmless, even though you can argue that a willingness to defer justice and closure and meaning to the afterlife makes it less likely you'll work doggedly for such things in THIS life.

The societal harms of religion lies mostly in other areas, as others have suggested.

This. I think this is a key thing to remember. Homerun, Canseco!
