Take it from me people! God does NOT exist.
I don't mean to offend any believers. If you must believe in myths because it gives you comfort, then go ahead. No skin off my nose. In fact, I will quietly respect your belief. But that does not change anything I'm afraid.
Oh, if I'm wrong (which is unlikely), then just be a good person and God will still reward you with life everlasting because by definition he can't be such a stupid bastard prick as described by religious people and man by punishing good people's souls by sending them to hell where they will burn for eternity.
Oh and btw, since God does not exist, you would think mankind could come up with more interesting myths like the Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Vikings but alas we seem to lack a good healthy imagination these days!
