that's the most underdeveloped argument alive today and consequently, the only one you and eagler ever seem to have.
too bad you resort to this play-freud approach every time instead of facing down the atcual issues that people raise. as for your stunning psycho-analysis...
guy 1: doesn't know or care what happens when he dies, doesn't know or care one way or the other whether god exists, is capable of starting from scratch and developing his own moral system without the motivator of fear, accepts the unknown whole heartedly come what may.
guy 2: is afraid to question his beliefs because god might be reading his mind so they've never been subject to critical thinking, follows god's commandments no matter what they are because of the fear of eternal torture, prepares for death constantly out of fear of being unready, endlessly tries to get national policy to support his god as a matter of state.
who is insecure again? exposing christianity and every other religion as fraud isn't about insecurity, it's kind of a reality check to your groups that you aren't going to call the shots anymore - and the rest of us aren't going to sit back and be fodder for all these stupid religious wars. the more your nonsense is exposed the less power your lobby has and the sooner this fairey tale is over - plain and simple.
the sooner we put ALL religions to bed the sooner we can grow up as a species.
and one more thing rip......i've never seen a christian convert to atheism or agnosticism when suddenly struck with a disease or at the end of their rope or mired in poverty. i have seen plenty of people suddenly get 'born again' though when faced with the unknown....what does that suggest about the 'security' of those people doctor?
