Wierd? Yes it was absolutely wierd, but then again you have to take into account that it was written by a "wierd" person. That is one thing I think we can both agree on.
No afterlife means no haunted houses, no ghosts, and, worst of all, no Casper the friendly ghost. People that believe in their religion with faith, according to you, are blind in their assumptions. So, according to what you believe, a bunch of people thousands of years ago sat down and just pulled this religion stuff out of their asses to get stupid people to follow them. But if that were true, then wouldn't they also write down somewhere (like if they had journals or something) that all religion is complete bull? Did they simply get caught up in their lies and believe in it themselves. It seems very improbable, but not completely impossible, that they would leave no trace for people to somehow find out that these people made it up.
So there's kosher food everywhere for no reason at all, people waste mass (no pun intended) amounts of their lives away for no reason, and guys get skin cut off their dick for no reason.
I actually agree with the last one, but thats not the point. My point is that somewhere there must be evidence that people just made this all up. There has to be a reason besides feeling better that people made this up (if they actually did make it up). It's not something like a white lie that you make up to make someone feel better, its misleading and immoral.
Guilt is a human emotion. Whoever made this all up had to feel immense guilt. People who feel guilty about something usually tell someone else. So, logically, there should be historical evidence somewhere (maybe it wasn't found yet or something) that someone made this up.
Until there is absolute proof though, i will choose to believe contrary.
sorry, i think i kinda ranted on about nothing for a while there. oh well, hopefully you get what i was trying to say. i am not always as good with conveying my ideas.
