I agree some religions, or atleast the way they are taught and understood by many people, have a hang up with death vs. life, good vs. evil, etc.
Also known as "Fear". That fear leads many to go to amazing lengths to try and control their fear or the unavoidable destiny that awaits them.
It's pretty stupid and narrow minded also but usually cause they do not understand their Religion of choice any deeper than how it's been told to
them. The Western Religions are at this point in time well known for this, but only by those who are missing the point behind that which they spend
so much time misunderstanding. Eastern Religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism on the other hand give a much more clear and understandable
perspective toward such ideas. I personally recommend that one study atleast the root forms of these first and then the "Spookier" Westernized
Versions are a bit more understandable.
Why so many Religions twist and manipulate Death or Suffering and Afterlife Rewards I don't know. I've come to the conclusion it was a great way to
use Fear as a tool to control what other people did while they are alive. A selfish, petty, wussy, thoughtless tactic done in malace toward their
fellow man. Truely sad!!
