Original thread here:
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,1050583For me it was my own ego. That's what kept me believing in "god" or a "higher power" or even "reason in the universe" etc.
I was convinced that my consciousness was sooooo doggoned special that it simply had to continue after death. Otherwise it was just too wasteful to contemplate. I think it was a hold over from my Mormon training. All that God in embryo talk sunk in pretty deep.
The older I get the more I hate the idea of "eternal life". Have ny of you seen the Sean Connery movie called Zardoz(sp?).
