“We gave you three days to recant but you insist on not returning to Islam"

[Wolferz]

Nice analogy, Haplo.

In a nutshell, religion and faith in a supreme being is in the mind of the beholder. Many people need it to stave off the depression and hopelessness that would be caused by the answer to the age old questions...
"Is this all there is?"
"Do we just cease to exist when we die?"

From scientific studies we know that there is more out there just waiting to be discovered. Much more.
The answer to question number two is far more elusive and won't be answered until we experience the death of these physical biological robots we run around in.

I'd like to think that I am much more than the sum of these atoms that this physical body is made of. That idea requires faith in something greater than scientific proof.
Everything about religion is a made up construct by men who were possibly mentally ill.
"If you talk to God you're religious"
"If God talks to you you're a nutter"
