It's not like my father was my model for God. But yeah, God can hate me, despise me too, so paradise is not a guaranteed outcome; IDK about my fate. It scares the hell out of me.
But for the rest, Tyler is spot on.
There was no Tyler Durden, and there is no god. Tyler Durden was all in Edward Norton's head just as is the capacity to do good and evil. The idea of god gives people the excuse to do terrible things on someone else's behalf. At the end of the line, your consciousness will fade into inky blackness and you will simply cease to be. No paradise, no hell.. The atoms of your body in billions of years will eventually rejoin the pool of atoms from which is came.
I find it comforting that there is no marionette behind the curtain pulling the strings. The world would be a better place if people came to the understanding that THIS IS IT. You do not go to paradise if your a bad person while alive, but confess your sins or do whatever the hell you do to be "forgiven". You are simply remembered as a bastard or waste of human flesh to those left behind.
