Idiots believe in a magical heaven because they're cowardly gullible morons. This is what I wrote at the Wall Street Journal:

Mr. Baxter wrote "Please tell us what happens after death. Do you really believe that you have the knowledge to understand such things."

Any unbrainwashed child could figure it out. When animals (including human apes) drop dead they become a stinking pile of garbage, aka worm food. Why is that so difficult for you to understand? I know what you're problem is. Just like the cowardly terrorists of the Islamic State, you're afraid of reality, so you believe in the childish magical heaven fantasy, not caring the fantasy is ridiculous, impossible, and makes terrorism possible. That makes your kind part of the religious violence problem.
