On the other hand, you gave opinions on what these dead religious people were thinking. You didn't even give evidence of their state of mind. You opined with no evidence on what they thought. You think you know their thoughts but the video evidence did not support your opinions.
I gave the recorded interviews of those who were about to die due to their inability to take minor precautions as evidence. You gave your opinion of what you thought they were thinking.
This fear of death and supposed life after death is what makes people imagine gods according to you. Is that what you think? I don't want to put words in your mouth. But you contradict yourself saying this imaginary life after death actually makes people chase death and causes more deaths than what Nature already provides for.
Through out the ages the religious have chased death. They commit suicide in mass like the Jim Jones and Heaven's Gates suicides. Then there are the atrocities of mass murder like the Christian Witch burnings, by different religious groups. If religion is caused by the fear of death, it seems to have backfired even according to you, because it seems to promote much more death.
