There's no real permanence or real relevance to it. You may think there is but what you think doesn't ultimately matter as you're going to end up the same way yourself.
It only matters so much to me. My existence is but the tiniest blip against the timespan of the cosmos. Even if your God did exist, it wouldn't affect my life. I still wouldn't worship a being whose own scriptures depict him as a vile, murderous monster (even if it describes him directly in the opposite manner).
Quote:In God everything has a permanence, everything has a purpose beyond your own opinion and you are partaking within it, everything you do in some way ultimately does matter in a real way. What would be central wouldn't be a blind chaos that somehow churned out a fully functioning life generating universe but at the heart you have love and that would be ultimate basis of human existence right there. It isn't nature red in tooth and claw or survival of the fittest, it isn't about shoring up treasure on Earth.
Wishful thinking. A psychological inability to accept reality. Nothing more.
