maybe so, maybe so...
but when did the want to believe in something need a set of rules to live ones life by in order to follow it? could it not be true that religion originally came about as a way to control the masses? A way of keeping order through fear of something that could not be proven, and therefore people would rather not chance going against it, just in case?
I believe there is something out there that we simply do not have the capacity to comprehend, but I'm not going to live my life by a set of rules and regulations just to exercise that right. but that is my choice. and those who follow a religion usually make that choice for themselves to. so whatever works really. one mans meat and all that...
