Ha, I was reading an old post of mine, and I completely screwed up:

"And such fascination with afterlife can be a mere curiosity, but it's also a fear of uncertainty.  Nothing in this world is more uncertain than what happens after death.  Religion attempts to appease the fear of death through promise of an afterlife"

It should really read:

"And such fascination with afterlife can be a mere curiosity, but it's also a fear of uncertainty.  Nothing in this world is more certain than death, and nothing is more uncertain than what happens after it.  Religion attempts to appease the fear of death through promise of an afterlife."
