Rational thinking tells me "this is it" and all religions are just Man's attempt to come to terms with a finite existence. There are many religions in the world and their adherents are often firm believers in their particular faith. All the recent evidence in my life says we are not born for an eternal life. Before we were born we knew nothing. Were we happy? Arguably, yes, as we were unaware of anything.
And yet....
Perhaps all religions hint at something. Maybe there is more? The only certainty seems to be that we all die and not one of us really knows what then happens. Does our consciousness somehow live on? Who knows. What underlying thing sets our moral compass? What makes us follow certain paths and tells us what is right and what is wrong? If this is all there is why do we not follow a path of pleasure for ourselves at the expense of others?
