When you realize what a bunch of BS organized religion is -- Christianity and Islam in particular -- then you closely observe nature, it begins to seep in that this is pretty much the only life we have. There is no honor in death, no childish afterlife based on how well we bargain with the "Boss Man in the Sky". Yet the average rube clings to immature and illogical notions of the inevitability and necessity of death. My hope is that once people see that life extension, or at the very least, longevity escape velocity, is a very real prospect, then the unwashed masses might finally throw off the chains of organized religion, and we as a Nation can unite around a proper Transhumanist logic based religion.
