It’s because all the evidence points to there being nothing after death, just an endless state of nothingness, not even unconsciousness, just nihil. Not even blackness, not even a thought, an absence of anything, thought, processes, colour or anything, no heaven, no hell, just an eternity of nothingness, not even darkness, just. nil. And most rational human beings know that no matter how loudly they pray or claim they believe in the magnificent sky fairy it doesn’t change the evidence one bit. Or alter the reality, that there is nothing beyond. And people find that hard to deal with. Myself included.
Now I need a drink. And some music.

I’d like to agree with you, but I think there are other realms where our consciousness/spirit/whatever goes. Search and read up on near death experiences. While many of these might reflect someone’s belief system, many do not. Souls may get bored with their afterlife experience and opt back in for another round on earth! I know, it’s hard to believe. The best I’ve heard of escaping reincarnation is to petition for decomissioning, and it may take a million years.
There’s no denying it, these are challenging times to be on earth.
Alexander Eban “Proof of Heaven” Worth reading…not just another near-death experience book.Its a neurosurgeons account of events while he was in a coma-the likes of which render the patient completely unable have any creative thought,any thoughts at all,because of the affected lobes of the brain .Apparently the disease that attacked him caused his brain to be shut down,and its verified by tests and other specialists-all doctors who are well known and respected in their fields.The experience this dude had-it was very cool..he was practically an atheist too when he got sick..Anyway,Ijust thought id mention it:)
