Fuck that. 72 virgins mate, still time to convert.
A great tradition is a christeningā¦6 or 7 kids now though at one time on the alter (austerity). I remember my youngest christening, one of the young ings was Antnee, the sneers from the limerick:
Youāll die. The lid will go on the box and your insignificant existence will be at an end. Religion appeals to folk who cannot deal with that fact. And of course the gullible.
The sort who gloried in controlling others havenāt gone away. Just moved on to other causes.

where did we come from i think?
Please leave me alone.
Why donāt you stop replying to him?
This is the crux of it, those who donāt want to believe that they are responsible for their own actions and future and those who cant handle the thoughts of never seeing their friends and family again throw themselves upon religion.
Let me handle this one.
We are apes. Genetically we are 96% the same as a chimp. The only logical conclusion to draw from that is that both humans and chimps (and bonobos) descended from a common ancestor, and we have plenty of evidence to back that up.
If @Brimmer_Bradley or any other poster has an alternative explanation, the onus is on them to provide even a small bit of evidence to back it up.
lads the bottom line is we are a dot, which we still have no iota how small of a dot. the universe is constantly expanding, it has since its inception (you can also argue how that came about) but if you believe in a greater power dont believe in what youāve been told by religions
Humans have been fearful of death since they became self aware. Even the Neanderthals had funeral rights, suggesting they must have been self aware to some degree. Itās an irrational fear, you may as well worry about where you were before you were born.

So you believe in reincarnation. Interesting, you must be one of those a la carte Catholics.

Did you not take Religion class in school
Matthew 17:10-13ā
And the disciples asked him, āThen why do the scribes say that first Eliājah must come?ā He replied, āEliājah does come, and he is to restore all things; but I tell you that Eliājah has already come, and they did not know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of man will suffer at their hands.ā Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
Yip. Look up what Desmond Connell could say twenty years ago. Another twenty and itās over in this country.
There is no afterlife.
Youāll get your reward in heaven. What a taleā¦
