but there is no super cognition watching over us.

Prove that claim.

That is merely a mere reflection of your own desires.

And this one, too.

Maybe we have something to teach you.

And you have. I have clearly learned some things here, as evidenced by my withdrawal of claims, and I am a better person because of it.

There is nothing wrong with letting go of old mythology. And there is also nothing wrong with accepting this is it. I see life after I die as feeling the exact same 4 billion years ago when I also did not exist. 

I have also spent 16 years comparing all the worlds religions and finding out they all claim empathy and compassion motifs. But at the same time, I also know there has never been worldwide a 100% peaceful religion. That does not say to me humans are good or bad as individuals, it does say to me that their logic is bad, and that maybe our behaviors as a species are in us, and not a super natural battle between good and evil, just like you rightfully accept there is no Yoda vs Darth Vader.

It does not frighten me in the least to know my ride ends and my consciousness does not out live me. Nobody gives an afterlife concept to a bacteria or cockroach either. None of this is saying humans should be emotionless robots or harm other humans. All it means is that we don't need to assign anything about human behavior to being handed down to us by a divine source.

I still find good in life, and despite what someone might have sold you in the past, I also see most humans as good, even if I think their logic is crappy. 

You need to think about all the other god claims you rightfully reject. The only difference between you and I is I simply reject one more god claim than you do.
