I might not believe in religion, but if there is a heaven i want to be in that place :)
a response to a question about religion posted on http://monochromaticblack.tumblr.com/
“I think diluting religion to mere theories of how the world came to be is over-simplification. Yes, theories of how the world came to be are aspects included in religion but those theories alone don’t necessarily define a religion.
And it’s very interesting, I’ve heard two people who are atheist say something to the effect of “If I’m wrong then oh well.” To me, that’s definitely a refection of your atheistic views because I think that most people involved in a religion believe that there will be an afterlife that results from the life lived here on Earth and the beliefs committed to. So it’s not just “Oh well” but rather having to endure an eternity under conditions that you don’t want to be in.
And if none of us are right then I guess we’ll all just disintegrate into nothingness and the world will continue to exist until the last generation runs out of natural resources and all die… that is if virtual sunlight and computerized water haven’t been invented yet.”
