anyone else think religion is ridiculous?
all of them are the same story with different names for things...we're one planet out of billions so clearly theres other life out there that DONT have religions like us. This "god" everyone refers to is just an idea they have to keep themselves from falling apart. The "god" we all have is ourself's. The planet. We're all connected. Scientists say theres 22 genes in the human DNA- all extraterrestrial. Look at the pyramids...that right there should abolish any idea from your head that one day a half naked man will come down from the sky and save you from the earth's destruction and you'll all walk through pearly gates. Im not saying there isn't an afterlife- Im just saying its most likely nothing what we believe it is. Theres no heaven and hell- its just another realm that we could never imagine. The mind and body are two seperate things. Without the mind the body cannot live - even in christianity thats said. Inner spirituality & meditation.

Even with a good chance of life on other planets, there is no guarantee that it is at our level and most likely not in the same environment we are in or even anything we could imagine life forming in. I would think once life in other places does evolve into sentient life forms they would come up with their own stories, but who knows. The universe has been around long enough they could have done it and died out already.

1.) It's not so clear at all that there's other life out there -- we have no idea how likely it is for life-friendly conditions to appear in the universe. And as Carl Sagan once put it, "It really is okay to withhold judgment until the evidence is in."
2.) I think humans have twenty-THREE pairs of chromosomes.
3.) You're not doing much good representing for our side. Better if you don't say anything until you know what the he** you're talking about....

Do I think that something that helps many people is ridiculous? No, I dont. WHat I find ridiculous is what people do in the name of religion.
