I think that both heaven and hell are constructs of the imagination, and spread into something beyond that as it went further out into common "knowledge".

I DO believe that there's some reason, some...thing that happened to make ourselves, the animals, and the world around us evolve the way they are/did but I don't like to put a "man made" name or concept on it.

I don't do religion...I don't diss those that do, well, aside from the stupid ass fanatics that represent any given religious group poorly.
See, the one common theme I've heard is a thing with a lot of religions is how the Christians and Catholics etc would put it "Don't worship false idols"...that there statement, and a few of the aforementioned fanatics have been what's steered me clear of organised religion.
I mean...don't worship false idols...pretty much every "bible" has something like that thrown in there, and I just do not like the odds.

One thing I really dislike, is religion being bought into schooling - I honestly think that this is about as close to legalised brainwashing as you can get.
Religion is something a person ought to be told about the concept of, and if they care to "find" it, or further investigate, they ought to be allowed to do so in their own time.

Aside from, I consider religious texts to be at most, guidelines.
Sometimes a little misguided and out of date, but overall guidelines to not do shitty fucked up shit to others.

So, I try to live like that...because if there is something/someone out there watching over us as subjects or a pet project etc, I'd like to think that if what I'm doing already isn't good enough for them/it, well, I'm a better judge of character to want to be in their presence anyways.
