I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm going to say again that it makes me really happy when other people feel this way about the concept of "heaven."

I always thought the popularity of the concept of heaven was a twofold sort of thing - to a lot of people, "nothing" is scarier than "something," so there's that. And additionally, I think religion always got a big pull from the relationship between rich people and poor people throughout history - the impoverished have a sense of hope because they're constantly being promised that things will improve in a "next life," so they hang on to that hope because it's about all they've got, and it keeps them from rising up against the wealthy because if they were to rise up in that manner they have the threat of getting the "next life" rewards yanked out from under them. Everybody wins.

Well, I don't have a problem with the fact that people believe in an afterlife and Heaven. But what I do have a problem with is the way it sometimes affects behavior, for instance, when people ignore real life issues because they're so focused on an afterlife (and don't get me started on the whole idea of "the End Times" that certain religious people use to justify their disregard for the environment and certain world conflicts)

I'm not even an atheist, LOL

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, it still makes me glad to know that the idea of carrying on as you are through eternity creeps other people out, too.

The whole "apocalypse" thing is troublesome in so many ways. We've seen it happen so many times, from the recent Harold Camping fiasco to that one woman who said that she had a chip in her brain that aliens communicated to her with who said that an alien planet would crash into earth and destroy it and advised people to kill their pets - and they did. And while people should probably not be so gullible, it's really very inappropriate for people to get their apocalypse boner on and start telling people to do things that they're going to regret, and even just scaring them like that. So inappropriate.

Fortunately it does seem that things like environmental protection are gaining mainstream popularity, so that's something.

I don't know which is more condescending: the implication that poor people are gullible idiots who can't think for themselves and see they're being exploited, or the popular idea of religion as a distraction for people who can't bear the weight of the world.
