Instead of Republicans and Democrats arguing for different political views, it is often different religions disputing the afterlife and the conditions of it; or who has present knowledge and authority to decide those things.   I believe truth should decide, but who should know it?   How sincere are the seekers?    And are those who seek truth biased, or shrouded by hidden agendas?   Many contest that it is absurd to suggest there is mere simpicity to anything so all consuming, having such an impact upon all our lives.   We look to the so-called experts in different fields of study.   We look to various organizations and their individual interests, thoughts, and beliefs.   Or we look within ourselves, thinking that all we need is what is already inside us ...that being rather naive, protective, or just plain vain.   But to suggest that ...is often the very thing that stirs the fires of anger.
