Why religion should not vanish

[Jackalope]

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.

True. I think that dovetails nicely with what I was saying earlier - that people seek answers that provide them purpose.
