Seriously who among you does not plan to do a 'death bed confession' just to cover your bases when/if you are given the chance?
I tried to kill myself, and my last conscious thoughts were "if there is a god, I'm going to meet him."
No base covering there.
Now, feel free to shift the goal-posts or denigrate any experience I've had without knowing anything about me. Whatever it takes to cling to your belief, I know you'll do it. Just know that it doesn't amount to anything to me.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
