Opinion on Religion & Death

Here is my opinion on Religion as well as what happens after death, please tell me what you think happens as well as maybe your beliefs as well as why you believe/do not believe in religion.

So personally I don't believe in religion. Even way back in the day some of the most powerful men when religion was at its peak didn't believe in it but they ran there country based on these religions. Caesar was one of these man, as well as many other politicians in Rome/Greece. They would say they "Publicly believed, but privately didn't." I think religion came about because of how shitty peoples lives were during BC times, and they needed to give themselves hope. They needed to focus on something else, something that would give them happiness. And in this case happiness is being able to go to heaven. This helped the government control the people as well as the people follow orders. These are one of the many reasons why I don't believe in religion. Also just a simple question to anyone who does believe in some type of religion, Who created your God? Another thing about religion that is just so disgusting to me is the fact of how many lives it has waisted/claimed. Between people dedicating there lives to get into heaven or people dying for the right to believe in religion. Now for my theory of what happens after death it might seem kind of weird but here we go. I believe that your energy goes with your spirit and you just return to a natural energy source. I don't know / have a theory as to what happens or goes on during the time when you turn back into the natural energy source but I would love to hear some opinions. I hope this gave some insight into me as well as gave some new thoughts / ideas to you guys & girls.

After death, the brain shuts down, and so does our consciousness. Our brain, along with the rest of our body, decomposes.

Firstly, no one believes in religion, people believe in a religion, not the concept. Those politicians portrayed themselves as theists, because if they didn't, they would be labeled heretics by the Church and they probably would have been killed. (You can even see this behavior today. I strongly believe many politicians today are non-believers. There's absolutely no way there's no non-believers in congress as statistics dictates. I'm confident Obama is an atheist. His mother was an atheist, a sovereign one. His grandparents, too. And his biological father and step-father were Muslim, however, he claims he's a Christian. Hence, a blatant lie.)

I don't necessarily agree with you on that religion came about because of "how shitty peoples lives were during BC times, and they needed to give themselves hope." I suppose that's a factor, however, not a main factor. I think lack of perspective and knowledge, superstition and principle of having a theory instead of no theory were the main factors of religious doctrine and ethics' genesis. The government didn't intentionally use religion to control the masses. The government thoroughly believed, too.

This theory of yours of what happens after death is purely based on superstition. The evidence of your hypothesis is equatable to that of God's, whose existence you deny. You have to demonstrate the existence of this energy and the existence of the soul, which is a purely religious concept. I find it much more reasonable and rational that we just experience the sensation of eternal sleep after death, which is nothingness.

Couldn't of said it better myself.

Can't blame the politicians for lying though, if anything blame the game haha.

Religion itself is bad. Christianity, isn't a quote on quote religion by text definition. It's suppose to be you trying to be more Christ-Like, and your relationship with God. But many people make it out to be something its not due to people trying to put rules and regulations on every-little thing.

Eternal sleep. Nothingness. YOLO MOFO
