Can't control it. Can't stop it.
Why invent an imaginary friend to calm you about it?
Actually, when you think about it, there is nothing comfortable about an afterlife or a deity watching you, people suffer enough in this life, so to add an eternal life that can take the form of punishment is not something one would invent to feel better.

Nope, but there pretty much has to be alot of trivially true things about the mundane and the divine world. Triviality is something that you should be comfortable with. Your beliefs revolve around the trivial-called-mundane.
How we should live...our life. What is and is not not verboten...in this life. Every second of every day of this mundane life, and it probably isn't the case that all of those seconds are consequential. That all of those decisions are consequential.
Your god draws the line at the deli aisle, for example. That's mundane and trivial. Do you really have an issue with divine triviality, or do you have an issue with people calling divine triviality trivial, as it is?
I don't think I understand exactly what you're saying here. Usually anything related to the divine or the existence of a divine entity should be taken seriously. That some religion or belief in this deity instructs people on how to do various mundane things in life isn't really a defect.
