Too disgusting and bitter, it signifies something.
And too good sometimes, it also signifies something.
Yes, and that "something" is nature, not a fictional sky wizard. The good and bad humans go through are not the result of mythology and old unscientific books. Life does have good and bad in it, but none of the good or bad is a result of magic.
The long term science proves that humans in cosmic time don't matter. What is significant is the time we have now. No it isn't sexy to think about, but accepting our finite ride DOES have the benefit of focusing on the time we do have. Accepting reality is about giving up on old and bad claims. Questioning social norms is why we no longer believe the earth is flat, and why nobody believes in Apollo.
I promise you you won't get smited, or smoted, and there is no hell to be threatened with. Try considering that you got it wrong. That was then, this is now. It was understandable that people made those bad claims back then, but we have advance since then. It is ok to give up on old claims.
There was never a god of any label, all god claims in our species history are merely the product of human's projecting their own qualities on non existent things.
