The idea that you would like to be in a situation where someone's always taking care of you where you get rewarded for pleasing them. I mean of course having someone looking out for you would give you comfort but I wouldn't trade it for freedom.
It is childish, but in childish ignorance was a bliss. Theists are like ostriches sticking their head in the sand. They find bliss in their own childishness, and ignore all reasons to take their head out and see the beauty of what is outside the sand, simply because of their greatest fear; a world where you truly die, and don't experience eternity.
