Having someone, something to believe in is endearing. Thinking that there is an afterlife is very appealing. But the problem is there is no fact for these things, no proof. I would rather experience life for what it truly is, than what I wished it was.
If we're to live trillions of years in heaven or hell, what is the point of 70 years of life on Earth? It seems kind of pointless, doesn't it? Shouldn't we be judged over how we act over the next 1,000,000,000,000 years than the next 10?
And if God can create a perfect world (heaven), what's the point of creating a flawed, corrupt place like Earth? Just so he can briefly judge us, then reward/punish us for the rest of eternity?
it's all so, so silly. Faith is not the truth, it's just a way to help you not fear death. But it takes away from your freedoms and understanding of the world, so it just isn't right. Don't fear death, because it's inevitable. Just make the best of the short time that you have in this incredible universe.
