Why don't people just have fun in this life instead of thinking 24/7 about their afterlife?
I agree so much. The only life we are certain of is the one we have now.
Religion is a waste of time to me. There is absolutely no evidence of an afterlife, or a mystical force called the soul.
The only alternative to "this is it" is a bunch of religious theories that people believe based on what culture they happen to be born into (or if they are really into it, they can go to the candyshop of faiths and pick and choose what they think is more important over a personal whim).
I think I'll join the other people in the world who are moving out of the dark ages and the fairytale superhuman nonsense.
God is to adults what Santa is to kids. An all seeing super-being that promises a reward in return for good behavior (basically just crowd control really isn't). To be fair though, Santa has more substance and payout.
