It was only after my parents died that I knew, unequivocally, that there is no afterlife. It took those moments of their dying to realise that it's just a comforting story that we tell to children, and here I was at 40-something only just working it out.

@fesshole@mastodon.social What a great opportunity to plug Dylan Thomas: "Let it be known that little live but lies, Love-lies, and god-lies, and lies-to-please, Let children know, and old men at their gates, That this is lies that moans departure, And that is lies that, after the old men die, Declare their souls, let children know, live after."

@fesshole@mastodon.social It's hard to believe that any adult can believe such ridiculous nonsens.
