Exactly. I'm presently at a point in my life where I'm utterly confused and not at all secure in any belief, whatever it may be. I'll be the first to admit I'm insecure in them. I used to hold many beliefs that I thought to be concrete, however after a drastic life changing event in my early twenties, nothing makes sense to me now. Losing and questioning belief is very frightening, because it is the foundation of what makes up a person. When that's lost, you're in a small, leaky boat out at sea with no anchor.
I don't see how someone can go through their life and not have their beliefs change or be challenged from the personal growth that comes from life experiences, both good and bad. This is why strict adherence to anything without question and exploration is an impediment to growing as a person.......in my, umm....belief, anways. :)
You and me are exactly the same drastic event and all, this event eventually led me to question all my beliefs on a deeper level then most people ever do, I think most people are content to believe in whatever they were raised to believe in, if this wasn't the case then why were slaves and racism accepted for so long?
Another thing is, why would the average person ever dream of looking for proof that there is no afterlife? If a person with any intelligence truly searches hard for an answer about whether or not there is a god, that person will find that all religion up to this point is completely false, just study astronomy/the size of the universe for a start.
