As someone once said...
I'd like to believe as many true things as possible and disbelieve as many false things as possible.
As it stands, the requirement of belief that surrounds theism is a strong hint that it's a false thing.
I don't care about the warm fuzzy feelings you can have when you think about your life going on forever, alongside your close relatives and loved ones.... and the ones you love that never loved you back...
I don't care about having whatever meaning that brings.
I don't care about the easy answer to the origin of the Universe.
I care about knowing what is really out there. How things work for real... to the best of our ability.
When knowledge of the existence of an afterlife, or a benevolent overseer, or of a creator entity comes by, then I'll accept it. Until then, it's indistinguishable from fiction.
But you do your thing, Zebra, and I'll do mine.
Eventually, we die and it no longer matters.
