[QUOTE="MaddSkillz, post: 2843253, member: 1159"] Or, can we do without it? Will we ever learn to accept our mortality and live life to the fullest and treat unsubstantiated claims of an afterlife as complete speculation not worthy of centering one's life around? We don't need it for moral guidance... Treating people as you'd like to be treated has been around since day one. No religion holds the monopoly on decency. For any good it claims to contribute to society and the world, it also seems to bring with it a lot of baggage and cause a lot of division that may not otherwise exist. So, is it in our nature to need something outside of ourselves because living and dying isn't good enough? Or, can we learn to accept life for what it is? Beautiful, tragic, just, unjust and finite.
