Eeyore Religion Says That The Earth Isn't Worth Saving, Anyway, And That When It Comes To An End, The Faithful Will Be Transported Instantly To Heaven. No Problem.

Many People Are Afraid Of Emptiness, However, Because It Reminds Them Of Loneliness. Everything Has To Be Filled In, It Seems-appointment Books, Hillsides, Vacant Lots-but When All The Spaces Are Filled, The Loneliness Really Begins.
