On the one hand, I can see how facing the thought of your own demise might be considered "hard".
On the other hand, to come up with a weird excuse that fits your version of scripture contradiction or belief system that does not fit anywhere in the realm of truth, and then convince yourself it is true; now that must be hard as well!
I just wonder which is harder to do?

I don't think that making up those "weird excuses" is very difficult for them. I'd have to say that facing the truth and dealing with reality are the hardest things for them to do. I mean come on...... dead guys coming back from the grave... walking on water.... a zoo in a boat.... seriously, they've either got overactive imaginations or an endless supply of crack cocaine!

Secondly, Isaiah fifty 3 makes appropriate experience in case you examine Isaiah fifty two first. he's speaking approximately Israel. Do you often initiate on the 2nd financial disaster of a e book once you examine?

I'd guess facing the truth that God is real must be too difficult (or too difficult a concept to grasp), and that's why so many choose to live in blissful ignorance. Obviously coming up with insulting, no-brainer questions is very easy though.
Psalm 53:1 -- The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.

You know after being there and doing that. I thought that belief in nothing would be harder than it is. yet I find a strange comfort in knowing when I close my eyes one last time, that will be it. I will not have to worry anymore.

Sorry, I'm too deluded to answer this question. I wouldn't know the right answer and I'd just have to come up with some weird rationalization anyway.

You mean the truth that our life will end? You think I am afraid of death? Frequently I greatly wish for it. Just yesterday I was suicidal for a little bit.
God is a real being to me, not some imaginary crutch to be used as a cop-out when I am afraid.

Actually the truth is easy. Making up asinine questions must be hard though.

I'm a polytheist. I have no scripture and my views are supported by science and mathematics, sorry.

Facing the truth has to be more difficult, 'cause I ain't seen any of 'em do it yet.
