I believe the scientists who say the earth isn't flat , probably from the age of ten . I don't keep reading books about the subject , once a week , that says the same thing over and over again .

I think a lot of religious people want desperately to believe in eternal life but are terrified that its not going to happen .
Be as critical as you wish about religion, but at the end of the day, when the chips are down, 9 out of 10 of us will have funeral service with a priest present who will thank God for our lives and, in faith, ask God to care for our souls in eternity...and likely you will one of the 10...as will many who have been critical of religion on this thread.

So please don't be so glib about it.
