Why do people embrace God? In my opinion, belief in God and an afterlife is a necessary extension of man’s need to feel that this life does not end with what we call death.
Meaning of the quote
People believe in God and an afterlife because they don't want this life to end when they die. Believing in something after death helps them feel that there is more to life than just living and then disappearing forever.
