Questioning The Nature Of God, Religion, And Existence
There have been countless gods throughout history and across cultures. What makes our understanding of God different from those? Could religion itself be a result of cognitive biases that have evolved in the human mind over time? Are we truly alive? Do we genuinely possess a soul, or are we simply complex arrangements of matter, no different from a metal block, except for the electrical signals in our brain that give us the illusion of consciousness?
Moreover, is it possible that death is the end of everything, that there’s nothing beyond it? This idea is terrifying, perhaps even more so than the thought of eternal punishment. Could religion just be a construct to ease these existential fears? Additionally, why do terrible things happen under the rule of a merciful God, like cancer in children or the suffering of countless human beings? Why is our religion true, and why is it the ultimate truth in comparison to others? These are questions that atheists often ask, and I would appreciate your insights on them.
