Is it fear of death?

I've received a lot of insight on how believers think from this forum, and I get the impression that they honestly would be out of controll of themselves if it were not for their religious beliefs.

It seems to me that you are spending more enery into a belief than the "believers" are. You even believe that the believers "put so much energy into a belief." We believe in what is real and thus live out our faith every day. It takes less energy to live in reality (of God, of salvation, of history) than to believe that there is no God. In fact, it takes a lot of energy to create an atheistic or agnostic worldview by purposefully ignoring that there is a Creator.

yep, fear of death. and they want to ignore the real world because it sucks so much. they hope there will be a perfect place when they die. but if they put more time into real life they COULD make their life better.

It's not energy-it's part of my life. Belief in God is as natural as belief in everything else. It's as real as the trees and the skies. You would find it difficult because you deny the reality of God. It's ok-because God believes in you and knows you'll come to your senses one of these days.

I'm not a believer, but my observations of the Faithful lead me to conclude that they metaphorically receive more energy from thier Faith than they put into it.

Because they don't realize that belief like faith does not change facts. They would rather deny the facts and say that they do not believe them.
Just like they would rather block people and deny free discussion on a public forum.

One's beliefs define one's reality. Therefore, your version of "real" is different from anyone else's, and vice versa. Why are you so concerned with imposing your version of reality on others?
