  Can I choose to worship and befriend God by not subscribing to any religion? That’s what I want to do. Religions are man made.[/quote]

  WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
  
  There is no evidence of evolution. Only speculation built upon speculation. Supposition built upon supposition. Thats all evolution is.
  The “Evidence” of evolution is the presupposition of evolution.[/quote]
  
  you’re not really worth replying to. you have repeatedly shown a complete disregard for the truth about science. there are a plethora of sources that you could use to educate yourself on what science is, but you choose to ignore them. why should we accept your understanding of science? you don’t really know and you don’t want to know. I can provide you with copies of science papers publishing evidence in support of evolution. would you read them and understand them if I did? How many do you want? I bet I can find over 1,000 pages of material. more? I don’t know much about building a house, so why would I tell a plumber how to do his job? why?

  [quote mindhealer]If you are actually interested in the issue, why not actually look at mainstream psychology? The simplest websearch can give you an endless stream of articles, books, etc, actually studying the value and intrinsic importance of fear to our lives.[/quote]
  
  mainstream psychology? you mean articles like these?

  or are these part of the grand conspiracy you mentioned to get folks to join cults and “sacrifice themselves for their bigger cause?”

  [quote mindhealer]The person who feels sudden fear and jumps out of the way of a car saves his own life. This is the sort of thing that happens every day, all day long if you’re out in the world. There’s nothing “bad” about it.[/quote]
  
  yeah. and that’s also not at all what I’m talking about.
  
  fear in general is not the same as fear of death.

  It is good to fear death, though, that’s basic to help maintain survival.[/quote]
  
  really? prove it.
  
  it is understandable, but ultimately a completely unnecessary burden. food, water, oxygen, shelter these are basic to maintain survival.
  
  if it is good to fear death then why is so much of religion, philosophy, self-help and psychology focused on assuaging these fears?
  
  to assume that fear of death is basic to survival is pretty sad, IMO. it assumes that positive reasons for living are incapable for maintaining survival. how cynical. there is no reason to assume that letting go of fear of death leaves you with nothing by which to live your life for.

  there are many ways of dealing with death.
  It is good not to fear what cannot be changed.
