I'm not even saying it's dumb. I just don't see how people can believe there's some guy up in the sky waiting for dead people to join him.
That's where you're wrong. "Up in the sky?" I hate to say it, but with all due respect that is one of the most ignorant comments I've heard. And then "waiting for dead people to join him" doesn't help your case either. I mean, you're awesome and all, but you aren't quite sure what the beliefs
truly are of 'us' if you will.
I, for one, believe in the
soul being separate from the body, not the mind. And 'heaven' isn't just a religious term, as described as "any place of complete bliss and delight and peace." So there, it isn't a place that is tangible or see-able, but it is truly all around you.
And
those are my beliefs.
