Hi again Kyu.
Yes I believe your correct,this is why I wanted to join this forum,When you approach your twilight years and know the end of life is near, you become more likely to try to find answers to things that as a young man never entered my head. 4 years ago the doctors in the ITU saved my life and now I have just been given my bowel cancer retests results and they are positive,these things you have to live with to understand what death is about, no I have no fear of death, but like all living things, I do not want to die but again like all living things I must. Some one on one of my USA forums said in a debate on religion ,why do theist believe in a mythical being they call a god, and the unanimous answer was that the fear of death and the need to believe their is an after life, but who created this belief in god the answer was the rulers of ancient empires could not control the masses of people under their rule so gods were created by these rulers to put the fear of death and no afterlife into the masses to control them.
This to me was a logical explanation of why man worships gods. once again we will never know if it is fact but as you say Kyu does it matter.I don't really think it does.
Regards
Rex.
