I find it very distasteful to listen to people blindly believe anything another human being has told them without any thought to the logic of it all.
Religion is a way for we mortals to try to understand that which is truly not understandable in so many ways.
As I have said before, I truly believe most of us will be surprised when we reach the other side! I am a very spiritual person and cannot believe that when I die all that is who I am, is gone forever.
Just as it seems impossible to believe in the vastness of the universe, and the fact that it had to come from somewhere (or maybe it didnt, maybe it was always here). Either way, to our physical limited bodies this seems incomprehensible, yet the fact remains that there is a universe and how it got into exsistence (I mean pre-big bang of whatever started it in the first place). For that reason I believe there is something more powerful and more awesome that anything the scientists can explain with our current technology.
Dont know if I got that all out so it made sense!
