Believe it or not, I’ve never had true peace of mind — as an adult — until I stopped caring about things I can never prove, and realized that rights should be fought for instead of waiting around for some non-existent entity to take care of your needs. Delusional thinking doesn’t get anybody anywhere, and that’s what’s holding us back as a country as well as a species.
Unless you’re a psychopath that can’t imagine being a decent human being without religion, you really don’t need it. Most religious people don’t even take their religion seriously; they only pretend to do so, because they’re afraid of being judged by others who also pretend to be religious. It’s like George Carlin said, “They’re always talking about what would Jesus do, what would Jesus do. They don’t want to know so they can do it. They just want to know so they could tell other people to do it.”
