Why religion should not vanish

[psychoslice]

It all depends on the person, we are like children who need comfort, so, as so called adults we find that comfort in whatever, be it religion, sports or whatever, but that's all it is, comfort.

Personally, I'm not sure it's just that - I found little comfort in non-belief. I've come to *accept* that my fate is oblivion, and I'm OK with it - but I wouldn't call it comforting. What I *do* know is that I don't know. <shrug>

Oh yes of course, I don't really know also, but what I have seen in my own church over many years, is that people do need something to comfort them, its like a security blanket, just because we are called adults doesn't mean we have grown up.
