personally i see no reason to believe in a god, if everyone here, brought up in the modern world had never heard of the concept, who can honestly say they would conclude on their own that there is a divine being?
I have many issues with the idea of an afterlife too, i would not want an afterlife, so why should i be forced to have one?
And why should anyone "serve" a divine being?
As it is, i am fascinated by religion, i often visit the church i grew up in and recently have started visiting a local mosque, not to learn about their shared god, but to learn how it guides them in their lives. How it impacts the human experience.
I used to be against religion as i have seen the harm it can do, but now i try to focus on the good it can do to their every day followers.
If there is such a thing as a divine being, i could not see why it would be interested in our every day matters however.
