Agnostic here.
And Gman, that would make sense for one reason. They get older, they face the idea of death more often and they have something to comfort them. It\'s a big difference in believing that when you die, there is something more and believing when you die, that your body simply rots away and that\'s all there is to it. The latter makes life seem almost pointless, as if there is no reason, where as with the first, you have something to work towards.
Either way, I\'m still agnostic. I have never seen anything to make me believe in a higher power or not believe in one. I simply don\'t care if there is one or not.
