You and I probably arent very far removed in viewpoint, I simply choose the side of a creator with a plan and a savior son for a few reasons. The bastardized version of religion today repulses me.

I'd like to believe there was intelligent design and an afterlife, but I just couldn't take myself seriously all those years. Yeah, it sucks that we're the pinnacle of life on this entire planet, but that's what I've felt most comfortable believing at the end of the day.

You mean the humanized version of religion? I'm sure all the prophets and deities would scoff at organized religion, given the chance. People screw up most when they fly under one banner.

there are meds for that

That's real funny. I'm fine with my seroquel, lithium, xanax, and a shot of tequila before bedtime. My body's pissed enough as is.

More seriously, I didn't feel as though I had to earn anything... I just wanted to believe everything I was taught as a child, and that there was something after this bland existence. I loved the thought of all problems becoming meaningless eventually. I guess that's still the case, but you replace a utopian afterlife with death.

Yet, I find comfort in learning and experiencing everything my ~75 years on this earth has/will have to offer. Might as well since it's my one shot, right? It is an awfully grand explanation to live by my rules.
