Religion is pure mind control; at the last church that I went to, we were told that we were under a curse if we didn't tithe-a curse?! Is this not the 21st century?! No, I don't think there's any proof, much less room for, a belief in heaven, hell, gods or goddesses, angels or demons.
Consider that this same former pastor attributes so much bad in this world to sin-it's "evil" that his toddler son is having nightmares, despite the fact that those can be probably be explained psychologically. In any event, if Jesus was real and loved children as much as the Bible indicates that he did, couldn't he prevent such events??
I could go on and on, but I will never set foot in a church again. My Atheism has been solidified, to that extent.
