The majority of human beings (the theists) while being aware of the fact that life is short, they make desperate attempts to deny this fact and also the fact of inevitable death.
First you 'try' and indicate that the term or life is relative, and then you state, that in fact, that life is short. The term of an average life is relative such that short and long cannot be used in truth. It is more accurate to say that life, for many people, is shorter than they prefer. In a relative sense, life is neither long nor short, as those two words are ambiguous without qualifiers. However, if you supply another life forms average lifespan, that is either longer or shorter than ours, then you may say ours, relative to the longer, is short, or that ours, relative to the shorter, is long.

This guy is an idiot anyway. See how he applies his assertion, to all humans, as if he possibly could, in keeping with the actual. He thinks he's smarter than most, yet he opens mouth and inserts foot more than not.


This tendency is natural in this phase of humanity's evolution, and theists seek and invent the lie of immortality to deny mortality and death.
Why? because reality and truth of inevitable death is naturally painful and manifest terror, psychological angst, anxieties and a terrible existential crisis.

The theistic suppression of the terror of inevitable death with a promise immortality pose a severe threat and hindrance to the progress of humanity in the longer run.
The most severe potential liability is due to the fact that the promise of a passport to immortality is laced with poisons, i.e. the violent, cruelty and intolerant immutable verses in the holy books.

For the minority of non-theists, life is whatever is the average life span of humanity and they have the limited free will to make it as meaningful as possible whilst driven by the inherent impulse to survive during its life span. Non-theist accept inevitable death as a fact and optimize every moment of living while alive.

Theists deny 'death'/mortality and believe in immortality (a whitel lie) as promised and at the same time become a slave to white-lies within a covenant that incorporates cruelty, violence and intolerance to their corresponding non-believers.
When comes to the crunch an against any apparent wall, they will have no hesistation to exercise the options of immutable laws of cruelty, violence and intolerances against non-believers which areclearly evident historically, at present and will go on in the future.

Thus, humans;
-the majority (Which are theists) refuse to acknowledge the real life span and deny mortality and death instead they belief in immortality and eternal life in heaven, and for some with virgins thrown in.
-the minority (the non-theists) realistically recognize life for what it is, make it as meaningful as possible and accept death as inevitable and a finnitude.
