Yeah, I can sum up the answer to this topic pretty easily.
Basically they don't like anything that pisses on the idea that when they die they'll get to live forever and enjoy the company of their dead friends and family for all eternity. They don't enjoy the slightest suggestion that when their dear mother, father, brother, wife, son, friend or hamster die they won't get to see them ever again and they're simply wormfood. They want to believe that no matter how trivial, boring, unloved, unjust, depressing, wasted and thoroughly unworthwhile their lives are that its ok because its all going to sort itself out after its over. They'll get their just reward, they'll finally be recognized, they'll get all they ever dreamed of and finally the whole struggle will be over and eternal bliss will await them.
It has nothing to do with evidence or reason. You can be the most polite, intelligent and charismatic person in the world but if you try telling them that probably isn't going to happen and theres no reason to think it does then they tend to get slightly pissed off. They call it arrogance.
Personally I think they need to wipe away the tears, stop playing make believe, put some big boy pants on and grow the fuck up. The worlds a cruel place and this is likely the only life you get.
They need to get over it and stop wasting time.
