Death: A Good Thing?

I find that people are starved for old religions. The Christians do not seem to meet expectations. I will say they are disgraceful in the way they perform most of their rituals, those taken from the old religions and incorporated to fit their needs. This is a visible warning that it may be a false one, molded by man and not natural eternity.

From its creation, Christians tried to put to rest man’s dread of death. Up till now, Christianity has not established a way for us to dispel the need to communicate with a Deity. The old religions did seem to alleviate the fear of death and Christians resented that fact. Christianity is a route to understanding, but surely not the only way. What bothers me more than anything else is their bleak outlook for this life, and the weight they give to the next. The next life, if one exists, will certainly last longer than this one, but to live this life only thinking of the next, restrict this life of its pleasures. Christianity is fixated on death and the next door, which they must pass; they ignore what has been given to them now. Christian attitudes about this world, depress me, their denunciation of the here and now, in favor of the next world, is nothing more than a gamble.

Christianity has stole customs and rituals from old religions, but only the ones that further their objectives. The self-importance of this religion says there is only one way; ours. Nothing good can come from a religion that robs from the old, rejects the here and now, and asks that we forgo this life for a gamble on the next.
