If the magical 2nd life fantasy was never invented would Christians still worship the Magic Jeebus Man?
Probably not. Without the idea dead people can magically fly to a magical paradise to have a magical 2nd life after they drop dead there would be no reason to suck up to the dead Jeebus and no reason to go to church.
The preacher man totally understands how important it is to repeatedly sell the magical heaven bullshit. He knows his cowardly customers would stop giving him their hard earned money and he would have to get a real job.
Many preachers also sell the disgusting hell bullshit. If you don't suck up to your loving god it will torture you forever. This is how they terrify gullible children, aka future customers.
There is no shortage of cowardly morons in Idiot America and that's why the religion industry is huge and very lucrative.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
