That's rich, you respect my beliefs, but tell me I'm living in some sort of a fantasy world because I don't believe in an intangible being who got bored one day and decided to make the universe?
I realise that life isn't simple at all, and frankly I don't understand how it all happened one bit. In reality, seeing as it's such a massive question, it seems a little futile trying to find an answer (Especially seeing as each religion claims to have the exlcusive truth). I'd much rather spend my time doing what I think is the right thing based on my experiences, and enjoying the time I do have, than cooking up reasons for being here. It just doesn't interest me one bit. As you said, that is because I have made my mind believe what I want, but so what? Looks like we all pick our own beliefs and go with them, but somehow you're saying that mine is misguided, simply because it's not the same as yours.
I agree, we live and die just like plants. When I'm dead, they'll stick me in a box in the ground, and after a bit my rotting corpse will be eaten by worms. I'm as comfortable with that as you'd expect.
I don't see how believing that I'm going to slowly decompose like all other living matter on the planet equates to living in a fantasy world, as opposed to thinking that if we're good little boys and girls God will take us away to live in heaven happily ever after. Believe what you want, don't get me wrong, it really doesn't bother me one bit what people believe. It's just not for me.
