Belief in god is at its core fear driven, because people want to think there's something out there, somewhere to go after death. You haven't offeered me a single different explantion for belief in god, or anything to refute my theory. In place of debate, you've either purposefully misrepresented my words or are actually an idiot and truly can't follow my simple point. Its not a retort to say "its you, not me, who's afraid."
As to the animal thing, I watched my 16 year old cat get euthanized. They very much understand when they're old and dying, and if you've owned pets you understand this.
I will be afraid at the end. Thats my point, you idiot. Do you have learning disabilities. We all have a fear of the unknown and dying is the great unknown. The difference is you believe you're going somewhere and I'm man enough to admit I don't know if I'm going somewhere, and I'm not fool enough to "belive" I am based on the zero evidence available.

Quick, where's an adult to tell me to go to my room?
You are quite the name-caller, huh pal?
I'm not accusing you of having anything like a "belief" in God. If you took that literally from my post than you should run out and buy a sarcasm meter. I'm accusing you of misrepresenting a belief in Nada, Nothing, Nobody or whatever you said
I should really be able to ignore you. Why can't I ignore you? Please resign from your post as a moderator of a dead board so I can.
It is you who are hedging, and its in stark contrast to your asserted belief in Nada, Nothing, Nobody. You said it, so what words am I putting in your mouth? You also said everybody is afraid of the end. You denying this?
Here's a clue. The two are irreconcilable. You can't deny God entirely (i.e., Nada, Nothing, Nobody) if you can't disclaim a fear of God. You can't be afraid of something that you affirmatively assert does not exist. Nobody is afraid of nothing. Tell me again how your doggy cried for its mommy when it was going to doggy heaven. At best, people are afraid of what is out there in the unknown. In your case, you are afraid of Who you think might be hiding behind door #1. Yup, you are afraid of the possibility of a big, hairy, vengeful God.
Quick, call me some more names and tell me how you didn't say what you said. I'll see you at mass in 2 days, m'kay buddy? You don't mind if I sign you up for the choir, do ya?
ETA "door"
