Okay I stand corrected. For a minute small fraction of the planet's population believing in an afterlife actually can be harmful.
For the other some 4 billion believers though I stand by my earlier statement. And as long as they aren't coming to blow themselves and dozens of others up they can believe what they want, no skin off my hairy rump.
Btw those of you speaking in absolutes saying "There IS no afterlife", you really should check yourselves, because the only thing there IS NONE of in this conversation is proof. You might want to start saying "I
believe there is no afterlife", because it is your belief, not proven fact. Just as it's existance isn't proven either, which is why it's called faith. (I'll add in a "duh" here)
MIght I suggest everyone just get off your high horse and believe what you want, shut the hell up, quit worrying about what others believe, and be happy?
Too much to ask?
