Not from the perspective of the people who made this church.
Sci-fi fantasies aside, physical death is a transition everyone's going to make. What's so discomforting about embracing that? It's not like they were committing suicide to get to the afterlife faster.

No, I just made the transition a little more specific, less than a minute after I posted. In any case, I changed it back.
- fishtacos 4y ago>> Not from the perspective of the people who made this church. Clearly. That is the position I'm opposing. No evidence = just that. >>What's so discomforting about embracing that? Embracing death is discomforting for most people, including myself and everyone I know. You might be an outlier, but it is plenty clear that religion is created as a method of assuaging that fear via fantastical notions. >>It's not like they were committing suicide to bring it on faster. It is detrimental in human civilization development. If you haven't figured this out yet, you might live in a cave near Al Qaeda.
