Ya know, if I did not believe in life after death, I think I'd value being as happy as possible in this current life.

I suppose I'd be happier too if I really thought I would live forever after I died.

But I just can't believe that Jesus rose from the dead and died for my sins and can't imagine going to church once a week with people who say they believe that.

A majority of the population are sheeple, blindly following their shepherd and never truly thinking.

You can’t rationalize faith just like you can’t rationalize love. Why do people keep loving their children? For the same reason they stay religious. Because they are alive.

Lots of people love their children without being religious.

Maybe you were just going along with it at some point, but I think that some intelligent people actually believe it. I'm intelligent and I believed it for many years.

Good - I'm glad there is no disagreement with the fact that people can love their children without being religious. THere's no reason why love would have anything to do with believing in God

Another religious freak died, scammer, creeper bit golly gee wiz he was a church going dude!

The Louisiana native was best known for being a captivating Pentecostal preacher with a massive following before being caught on camera with a prostitute in New Orleans in 1988, one of a string of successful TV preachers brought down in the 1980s and ’90s by sex scandals. He continued preaching for decades, but with a reduced audience.

Religion is always the scam. And it’s never been the drag Queens.

OPPs why do people stay religious?? They are either stupid or scammers or child molesters or morally corrupt. Or all of the above.

Sure. The only thing you can't do as a non-loving person is love. You can do everything self and what you can't do, you can fake. People fake love all the time. They can also fake being religious.
