Religion started as man’s way to explain his environment, being, and death. As God can not be proved or disproved there is always room for doubt and people in power roles transform this doubt into fear. Religion, or fear, allows the few men/women with power to comand power and retain it. I lead a moral life, always respecting, caring about, and for others. Some would say this makes me an athiest, others may call me liberal;I however see these qualities as what makes me human. I wish happiness and peace to everyone. I am a non-descriminating humas when it comes to me feelings for others.

some people have to much time on their hands,
besides if god was any kind of resonable being he would accept the athiest that had been good into heaven. and reward them for questioning beliefs.

I read once that “humans needs to believe in afterlife because they cannot bare the idea of stop existing when we die”, I believe that is true and i was even more convinced while studying human evolution… supernatural beings came into place when we gained “imagination”, only after we started using our “imagination” (later human evolution) we started developing rituals (and by rituals I mean: burying our death, etc..) all that did not exist prior to this step in evolution.

I believe what really separate us from animals is that fact: we have imagination, and imagination has lead us to create marvelous things (we first had to imagine them). The capacity of creativity and imagination created the ability to write, paint and transform the world around us.

Saying I am going to hell because I believe in god is ok, i am convinced they think that because nature compels us to think that way, we are social beings and we need to feel assured: Men cannot bare the idea that after they die they will just disappear… is too frightening!

Saying that we have the gift of knowledge is not exactly accurate, as many animals are believed to be as intelligent as we are.

What makes us special to ourselves is that we understand ourselves, and not other animals. Perhaps dolphins see themselves as more knowledgeable than us.

Of course, Humans have developed the ability to write, which allows us to acquire the knowledge of people in our past.

Hmm. I don’t really believe in Heaven or Hell. In my opinion, we’re the same as any other animal in this earth. When animals die, they just rot and decompose. Nothing else. I believe that people only say that we are going to heaven or hell is because we want to feel special. We ARE special from other animals because we have the gift of knowledge but that is the only thing that makes us different from other animals. Nothing else. When we die, we die and decompose. Nothing else.

Just stumbled onto your blog today. I’ve enjoyed reading, and I agree with much of what you’ve said. You state things more eloquently than I ever could. Thank you for that.

I also want to look after my fellow humans – family, friends, Iraqis, even Americans. But don’t need to believe in anything external to give me the reason to do so.

Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a social animal; altruism is what saved us on the African savannah all those millenia ago.

But to be on the safe side I don’t wear wool/cotton mix suits.
