Pope and death

We humans know inherently and in our genes that after death there is nothing. There is no after life. Our genes know it very well, and they enforce this reality on us, despite all our beautiful beliefs about life after death. Fear of death has made us build all these religions and fairly tales about a beautiful after life. But, deep down, we all know these are just what they are, fairy tales for children.

We cling at life, we resist dying by all means. Even popes try to live even one day longer if they can. They use the most advanced technologies to survive and live. If anybody among humans would believe in the fairy tale, it must be the religious leaders. But.... they fear it like anybody else. If they really believed in the fairy tale, if they believed they are going to paradise and to a better life after death, they would not try so hard to survive. With the first symptoms of a fatal disease, they would say: No, please don't ask doctors and hospitals to help me. I would prefer to die sooner because I am sure I will go to a better place! Have you ever seen one of them do that???
