religious people are blind to the reality that there is not a god, the reality is Non-religious people have better morale standing than religious people. I believe that people who take to thin air, to someone who is not there needs to be put into a catatonic state and locked up. religion is a business, it plays on the minds of people, who live in fear of being punished for any sin, however you can confess your sin and feel better, that the phycology effect. religion is dengerous for this world.
:)Peace.. by natural selection, i guess chimpanzees don't believe in religions, since it would be relatively natural for humans to differentiate between evil and morality, either by scientific reasoning or religious faith. i think humanity would only be then natural to evolve cognitively, to even detect deception or truth, lies or righteousness in religious or any beliefs in the search for the Godly purpose of their own survival...
Heaven is a place that is timeless and operates outside our spacetime continuum. WE feel a need to escape the contraints of space,time and place; a need to escape this hell or minimize the sufferings. When we ride in our vehicles it allows us to temporarily overcome some of our natural space, place, time limitations and therefore makes us feel a little bit more free or closer to heaven so it creates an addiction. Books,music and movies also let us escape our contraints for a little while.
God is free from the contraints of space, time and place. He lives in heaven which is a place outside the bubble of our physically limiting, contraining spacetime Universe of bondage. He is omnipresent or ubiquitous in that he is everywhere, anytime, anyplace all at once like superposition combined with supertime. God can never be proven nor disproven because he controls all the dice and will hide himself from the scientific community.
