Don't be silly.. you guys treat me like I'm an ungodly person. I've just never had any supernatural experience so my "facts" and logic are based purely in the physical world. Unfortunately you probably won't believe but I consider myself a person of uncompromising morals: I'm vegan, I have a business and am regarded by my clients and peers are highly ethical, I don't steal, I don't cheat, I rarely lie (it would be a lie to say I don't lie!), I rarely covet, I respect all walks of lifes and I ponder many issues far more than the average person. In fact I was working all day and was thinking about my quarrel with the other gentlemen in this topic today. I do not take matters of the mind or heart lightly and it's for these reasons that I've become an extremely insensitive person to many people, an excellent example is religious folk who partake in the mass murder of animals.. I worked in a slaughterhouse and have seen cruelty to animals with my owe eyes, how on earth can I perceive a doctrine as truth when they are blind to very real and direct issues. It is a matter of people praising their good qualities and thinking none of their evils. Frankly I hate people in general because of their complete lack of regard for Nature, Earth and all lifeforms. To turn around and say God says this and God says that while blind to the issues mentioned I take as an insult to my intelligence and morality. Furthermore it bothers me you people on this site label me because of my warn and locked status and assume I have no depth. One passage from the Word I consider sacred: do not worry yourself with the stick in your brothers eye when you have a log in your own! I am living in a world full of so called rational people who when analyzed are far from it and I would go so far to label them as another disguised evil of the world.
I myself haven't had any supernatural experience either. Yet I still believe.
I should ask though, have you done any research on this? What aspect of life do you aspire to?

Religion is man made. All made up to create power. Power creates wealth. Simple
How did you come to this conclusion?

There isn’t either. No heaven nor hell. How can I say if I know for a fact neither exist.
On top of that, what you are saying is that there is no judgement after death. There is no accountability for your actions.
If you truly believe that then why aren't you going on a murderous rampage if there is no ultimate judgement for your actions? I mean, by that logic this life is completely and utterly meaningless and it's all about chasing after the things of this world.
