Rather enjoyed this little message I found on a forum thread…
It’s simple: Ancient man created the gods to explain the world and their existence. Ancient man also thought the earth was flat. Religion is the human response to being alive and having to die. Most people don’t want to accept death, so they search for alternatives. It’s understandable, albeit 100 percent misguided. Live your life, fill every day, and at the end stand tall, shake your fist at the indifferent sky, and say, “I did it my way.” The proposal of religious people that we will be fired up into the sky and sit on a happy cloud for eternity undermines everything we struggle and fight for in life.
