Nah, we aren't that cruel. We usually lie to comfort those who suffer from dementia.

One of my favorite takes on heaven as a concept actually comes from Frieren. She's talking to her priest friend about the afterlife, more or less says she doesn't believe or doesn't care maybe, and instead of trying to convince her, he just says "but isn't it more convenient?"

I am a through and through athiest and I always will be, but I do agree: it is more convenient. It's nice to think about even if you don't really believe it's true.

A similar idea: you experience a "second death" the last time someone remembers your name. I don't think that I'm achieving anything real by remembering my grandfather's, but it's nice to think that I've been keeping him alive in some small way. It's simply more convenient.

I love how this meme could be interpreted as "I'm glad to be burried next to my husband"

Reddit atheists were like the gamergate of secularism.

And its like 'grandma even if I'm wrong and you're right, you know that's never gonna happen. Grandpa was a good person.'

Facts. Like just last week I had some Northern Unorthodox Atheists ringing my doorbell trying to tell me the good news about their "no god" or something, idk I wasn't really listening.

Anyway, all I had to do was start speaking Latin backwards and crawl on the ceiling to get them to leave.
