The horror that I find in the area of religious belief has to do with the idea of eternity in heaven.Now I am sure most of us with our lives being what may seem short in that it seems there is not enough time to get the things we want done that it would be nice to have lots more years to watch the growths of families and changes in the world but after say 10,000 years it would be a bit much.Imagine 1,000,000. then we have the say (5,000,000) (10,000,0000)(1,000,000,000) (100,000,000,000) (400,000,000,000,000)
That last one is 40,000 times greater than the age of the universe! This is not even a first step in the journey of an eternity.One would likely go stark raving mad when faced with the prospect of un ending existence. Not for me no thank you
