Opinions and conclusions about Religion and God.

I have learned that we are meaningless products of a mindless universe. Our existence is of no more significance than the movement of a grain of sand across the surface of Mars. That sounds nice, but I don't think it's possible.People are selfish.

A reason I think this is impossible is that it seems that what people are really interested in is prestige. The problem with prestige is that it's a relative matter, a comparison with others. If everyone has prestige, then no one does.

I prefer this method.

"Your friends, if they can, may bury you with some distinction, and set up a monument, to let posterity see that your dust lies under such a stone; and when that is done, all is done. Your place is filled up by another, the world is just in the same state it was, you are blotted out of its sight, and as much forgotten by the world as if you had never belonged to it."--William Law
