What would all of them expect in „eternal life“ if they somehow survived their ’sins’ on this earth? And, of course, GREAT MAYORITY of them survived, because human society (thankfully) neglected god’s orders in most cases.

Another very importatn question is what BLASPHEMIST, which neglected god’s orders, could expect in“eternal life“. Not to kill a sinner when god orders so, isn’t it a really great desobediance and great blasphemy?
Punishment for most types of blasphemy was also death! If blasphemists survived, will they be punished for eternal suffering after thir death?

It is obvious that, using thremendous threads for LIVING people for their „sins“, the ruling minority wanted to keep them silent and obediant.
They did not care much about „eternity“! Moreover, they made „eternity prospects“ for people much „softer“. Keep your mouth shut on this world, under treath of death, and you will (maybe) live good in eternal life.

But before you reach eternal life, give us some money to untie you of your possible sins.
Hypocrisy! Dirty manipulation with uneducated people!

Yes, the fear of “nothingness” after death is one of major reasons religions keep their roots so strongy.
That is why even some intelligent people endure the nonsensness and immorality of OTHER (I would say ALL OTHER)religious dogmas.

“Nothingness” is inevitable destiny of all of us. That should be a good reason to use your one and only life in a better way.

All of us were in “nothingness” before we were born.
It does not aches!
It is much better than eternal sufferings promissed by Bible for “sinners”. The problem is that you never know how sinfull you really are during your life. Whatever you do there is a threat that somebody, somewhere, is making a list of your sins, and you never know wether you did some of them aout of your will.
How woderfull feeling to live without such an ugly, superstitious and futile feeling!

Great article, very interesting read indeed!

It would be cool if schools would be that blunt.
