I think you're taking what I said the wrong way. I'm not trying to say that anyone who doesn't believe in a God or an afterlife is some kind of heathen, or that their choice to do so is wrong and meaningless.
I mean, people can do and think whatever the hell they want. But to have such a bleak outlook on the world, thinking that nothing exists after death and that we're all just part of some large coincedence and that our faith is nothing more than a product of fear for our mortality; as logically as that all may sound, what's the point in thinking that way?
What I'm trying to say is, you may think you're gaining some kind of emotional independance by not adhering to the common beliefs of fellow homo sapiens, but when it all comes down to it, isn't it better to have some kind of hope that life is more than just what we see, and something greater than us does exist?
