Not hopeless, it obviously works sometimes or we wouldn't be here. But this suggests deconverting young people will work more often, as they will have sunk less time into theism and generally act immortal anyways so knowing God hasn't got an eye out for 'em won't shock as much.
This is a good thing? Acting immortal predisposes you for rationality how?
It's possible, I'm just not seeing a good connection.
The idea is that acting immortal indicates less fear of death which means less pressure against rationality on this one issue. The premise may be false, though.
Irrationally believing you won't die counterbalances irrationally fearing going to hell.
