Included in human nature is an intense love. Even, because of the power of imagination, man fancies a sort of immortality in everything he loves. Whenever he thinks of or sees their passing, he cries out from the depths of his being. All the lamentations at separation are interpretations of the weeping resulting from love of immortality. If there was no imagined immortality, there would be no love. It might even be said that a reason for the existence of the eternal realm and everlasting Paradise is the intense desire for immortality arising from that passionate love of immortality, and from the innate and general prayer for immortality. The Enduring One of Glory accepted man's intense, unshakeable, innate desire and his powerful, effective, general prayer, for He created for transient man an eternal realm.
I've come to the conclusion that a bit of detachment in these matters is a very desirable & sensible thing!
Gee kev-that's pretty good.
Do you think we can do anything to change it?It is a bit crazy you must admit.

Hi yourself, kev! And a big welcome to A2K, you serious, serious person!
Welcome to a2k, kev. You will certainly have fun here.
kev, do you also mean God and the afterlife are an invention out of this love of immortality?
Ese . . . Beaner . . . watcha doin' in this thread?
All these crazyass religious threads have me walking around in a fog. It's not good for mexicans to ask themselves such questions all of America could go in to a tailspin. All the lawns would go to hell. The crops would rot, Your couldn't get your car re-apholsterd.
