It's amazing to me that everyone isn't an atheist. How can anyone believe that after you die and rot and are absolutely nothing but dirt, someone reassembles you, reactivates your mind, and lets your prance around some blissful paradise forever? It's absurd. And more than that, it's incredibly arrogant. To believe that you are so important in the universe that you can't just vanish into oblivion like and an ant or butterfly is absolutely the height of conceit. And talk about illogical. Do believers in afterlife also think that everyone who was ever born are candidates for heaven and hell? Does that include cavemen? Does it include Biafran children who starved to death at six and never had any worldly life to speak of? And what age would you be? And if none, just a kind of spiritual noneness, then what's the point of being there? Plus, even Paris would get boring after six million years. There is no logic to religion. It is so obviously the creation of generations of mortals afraid to die who had to come up with some escape clause and heaven was it. Hate to tell you this, but this is all you get. You check out, people cry and moan, they bury you. In a decade or so you are forgotten and you,my dear friend, will never be seen again. You have no awareness of the billions of years that occurred before you were born, and you will have no idea of the eternity that will follow your demise.I know, it's annoying. But c'est la vie. Or c'est la mort. So if it makes you happy to go to church and sing hymns and imagine all the fun you're going to have once they hand you that golden key on Judgement Day, then go for it.
