Most people would probably find they'd be happier if they believed in the possibility that they were going somewhere interesting after they die rather than just into the ground to be pooped on by deer and dogs and eventually become fertilizer for future trees.

You make some good points and are sometimes funny, but your poasts are about as cheery as walking into a 10 x 10 foot, unheated Orthodox Church in Smolensk in winter, with 3 candles burning inside and a 90 year old monk sitting so silently in the corner you can't tell if he's dead or alive.death2ducks said:Some of you in here aren't happy.
