It must be very painful to you, watching religion go the way of the Dodo bird.

Good for you...You are free to call it whatever you like, but it certainly doesn't make it true, or you look very smart....Ever hear of "natural selection"?

Religion has made many shysters very rich. Affinity scams are a big and profitable business.

Pointing out that organized religion is a fallacy and crutch for weak minded people is sharing an honest opinion. Really it is all myth and delusion ... belief in the supernatural and hocus-pocus: utter nonsense.

This is my opinion and I'm expressing it; I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.

How do you know that?

And how do you know? How can you say for sure there are no NDEs or life after death?

Actually, an afterlife is the only rational explanation for what happens after "death." Death just may not be a period, but a comma.
