Really ?

Why do humans have to do this stuff - invent a new 'religion' to try & make themselves feel better ? ALL religions are simply conjured up by people wishing for some convenient 'truth' to get behind to give their life & this world meaning beyond what they can see. Nobody knows what is 'out there' - and only our imaginations allows us to speculate. Actually allowing yourself to believe any 'faith' is just a story to make you feel better, and certainly not something to die for or fight others over. The most problematic subject in our human world is Religious belief - relax & remember that nobody can declare what the facts are, since NOBODY KNOWS !!!!!
