I think if one of your children die you want to believe it does not end for them when they die. It could help the parent move on in his life, and maybe even see them again when they die.

On living a good life. In some religions you can lead a bad life. Then just before you die you can repent and go to heaven. It's like getting a get out of jail free card in monopoly. You just have to believe it. I think I can definately get myself to believe before I pass away. Religion is cool in that regard.

My daughter graduated from an Ivy league school. She was relatively normal out of High School. She is like a communist now. But a communist that loves money.
