Everyone has their doubts about religion from time to time. But for one to mock one's religion openly, is equivalent to putting down a mans wife in public. It's not right, nor is it progression any any form.

Secondly, This is a question that goes out to all that are NOT Religious. Sure all normal people have their doubts religion, but how does someone that's not religious go about explaining themselves to a loved one on their death bed?
Someone you care for deeply, your mother or father.
Do you challenge them like you do me?
Do you mock them for having religion?
Or if they have no religion, do you comfort them by telling them that the afterlife is false?

...and if it's not that their going to hell for trusting in you?

Or lets say that the girl of you dreams, your high school sweetheart, is taking her last breaths, she's given 24 hours to live. She is unsure of her thoughts about religion, but wants to get it right before she dies. She looks into your eyes for advise, answers, and comfort. You, (MANIAC, QWICK) have the option to say or do whatever you please at this moment. No one is around. It's just you and her. What does you conscience tell you to do?

(this is a very likely situation, if you haven't had someone extremely close to you pass yet, you definitely will.)
Both of my parents are very religious. So if they believe they are going to heaven and will be in a better place then I'll comfort them until they pass on. I won't sit there and tell them that their hopes of reaching heaven is ludicrous. I won't be a complete cold hearted person... I just don't like religion.

Does that make me a bad guy? No... I have my own opinion about it just like you have yours.
