I need a religion...

I forget who it was- Heinlein, probably, the bastard- who said that religion was the refuge of weak minds. Well, color me weak, because I need some reassurance that this existence is not all there is. Every time I contemplate mortality- specifically, the concept of ceasing to exist upon the shutdown of the flesh body- I experience sudden and deep terror and depression which makes me pretty much useless.
( Unfortunately, I don't currently have a religion to comfort me... )

(Oh, and BTW? Revealations does NOT say jack SHIT about a rapture. In fact, it's pretty damn clear that Christians will be around through the entire End Times, and that most of the professed Christians will turn away from the faith and thus be destroyed. The Rapture is a happy lie perpetuated by the church to comfort people like, well, like me.)
