Religion is a coping mechanism for people too afraid to take the world at face value

We live on a rotating rock in space that so happened to be the correct distance from the energy of the sun for molecular chemical reactions to take place amongst atoms, hydrogen, oxygen and sub atomic particles to create single celled organisms that slowly evolved over billions of years.

There is no god. There is no heaven. There is no hell. There is no devil. Your prayers are heard by nobody. There is no supreme cosmic being in the sky or in space watching over you.

You can’t remember anything before you were born because you didn’t exist yet. When we die, we go back to that state of nothingness.

Life is a tiny experience that is simultaneously unique in everyone and yet completely insignificant at the same time.

I don’t disagree with you but does the purpose of all of it have some explanation?

@StevetheSleeve Perhaps purpose is only a human concept. Born out of our higher levels of cognition. Animals operate on instinct. Humans operate on whatever purpose they invent for themselves or others.

@QueenOfZaun I can see that too, but does existence have meaning to somebody or some thing
