““When it comes to religion, we have a funny habit of believing things that make us feel better about ourselves." "What do you mean?" "Heaven," I said, "is a good example. When someone dies, we want to believe they went to a better place. We want to deny their death, deny its finality. We want to pretend that life goes on, in some other way, in some nice place like heaven. It’s very self-serving.””
