Indoctrination puts the idea in your head that you need religion, that you would be screwed without it. Because we're so aware of our own mortality, I can understand how giving up on an irrational belief in life carrying on forever is difficult.
Some people have clearly been so heavily indoctrinated that no amount of reason can get through, their minds have been so fucked with that can't distinguish reality from their mythology. I think there's a clear difference between those kinds of people, and others who I suspect know full well what a crock of shit they are defending. I feel very sorry for the first category, and I'm appalled by the intellectual dishonesty of the second.
For myself, having never been indoctrinated into any mythology, I've not had any problem accepting that nothing magical will happen to "me" after I die. Religion smacks you in the crotch then sells you crotch cream. And it teaches you to smack yourself in the crotch, so you keep needing that cream. And brain cream.
i don't understand though, as a kid i was forced to go to church and at a point i did actually believe in god, but as i grew i realized that god is just a fantasy i wanted to believe in i don't want to accept death but i know its a part of life. So why do some stay in that fantasy?
i think consciousness is a curse.
