Your thoughts on how man kind still depends on a form of a god, diety or higher form. Myself, I still think of an afterlife but nessicarly a Christian, Budist, Muslam, Shintouistic after life. More or less a re-incarnation-like system. I believe a final afterlife provides inequalitly, and that if souls just go and dont return, how are they reproduced, and how can it balenced out?

Religion really is the opiate for the masses. At least in its current form. They do nothing but keep the stupidest of the stupid (aka - MOST OF THE EARTH'S POPULATION) in stupidity and ignorance. 15th centuries of inquisition OH LAWDS.
Anyway, religion should die already. It should switch to the "philosophical movement" it should've always been. Trying to make people think instead of living in blind faith.
The existance of a god is logical for me. Every great work has a great engineer and great craftsmen behind it. The odds of the universe being created through RANDOM events are extremely low. And it's also the simplest explanation available (Occam's razor anyone?).
As for life after death, I do believe that life goes on after death, and in reincarnation. If it doesn't, well that's a scary thought for our self-centered human egos, but ah heck, humanity will go on and you won't care about it because you can't and no one else will because they will die too! If life does go on, well, it's all good.
So... these are my beliefs. As I don't know if they are true or not, I'll simply wait until I'll get an answer or fall into the nothingness of organic death. Since I don't know what will be waiting us at the doors of death, I'll try to be a good person just in case. If it doesn't help me going to heaven or becoming a better being, it'll at least help humanity a little bit.
These are my 50 cents of life and post-life beliefs.
