( He volunteers, the natural follow up to Mormons 2 of course. If he doesn't get that reference Ian's going to look like a fucking moron, so he's just gonna... glide on past that and not let it linger. )
It's pretty odd. You'd think as long as what happens after death is arguably a mystery there'd be a religion meant to comfort people over it.
( He's far from religious himself; of all the reasons for it, that would be the primary draw for Ian. He's an unabashed coward, though, and his fear of death is a prime motivator. The reason for life or destiny or whatever isn't so much on his radar. He doesn't have any burning need to believe all things happen for a reason, or that there's a higher power looking out for mankind.
It would be nice to think his mom is somewhere out there still. Shame he's too logical to buy into it. )
I don't know, maybe these... whatever they are that we're calling gods are the jealous type.
( An offhand theory tossed out with a shrug. )
Maybe they actively snuffed it out with... divine intervention or something.
