Whats the harm in believing in life after death?

[Chōshū]

To me it just seems illogical. 

[Oh]

 It's childish to believe in fairtytales are true as an adult, believing in a Deity is the same. I don't feel comfortable among people who believe in wizards as a truth.

I wish everyone was as cool as you.

[Classic]

It's good for writing purposes.

how heartwarmingly accepting of you

Apparently, I can't see the video because of copyrights issues, but I can say this:

Belief in life after death doesn't necessarily imply belief in a deity.

[Classic]

I believe in reincarnation as well.

No no, not "as well".

[Oh]

how heartwarmingly accepting of you

Tell me you would take someone seriously if they told you they thought Santa Claus and The Berenstain Bears existed and they were older than 20.

Not really the same seeing as how both are openly confessed and realized by everyone as being fictional.

you can't prove that >=O

[Oh]

But there is no difference as far as proof of their existences goes, all religious texts are old and can't be taken as nonfictional. How can anyone believe fairytales from such an old age simply because it says that a superior being told so and so to write it? It's childish to believe in things with absolutely no foundation on proof except for a book that someone wrote with amusing stories (hence the children book comparison).

yeah there is

we know who created and who created the berenstein bears, and we thus know that they were created and are totally fictional

we don't know who created god, if someone did

[Lance Corporal Atlas]

Because apparently the same people that bash religious figures for enforcing their beliefs simply can't do with somebody believing in or even acknowledging the possibility of a higher power.
