Well being that he seems along with quite a few others here, not belonging a member of any god cult, believing a book of hearsay of hearsay that amounts to an iron age fairy tale and he like me and those I mentioned, just may prefer to take our customs and advice in life from ourselves, friends and mentors.

That humans continue to frightfully fear death, must then have more to grab on too, so they create an afterlife so hey, if we do this and this according to my god, you won't really die.

Once creating gods, they themselves tell us what the god says want and also that if you don't go along, insults you as a sinner and you are going straight to hell, yet more self-sustaining mythology.

Besides, the Catholic church is now placing their bets on Mary who was the godlier between her and Jesus. I guess, or maybe could bring in some more money.
