"well it was just a figment of someones sick imagination in their efforts to control people. So, eat, drink and be Merry..."
Jeff, there are other world views, religions, other than christianity. I'd look to the east. To Buddhism. It has a much deeper explaination of who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

Of course there are thousands of different forms of Buddhism throughout the world, but the common thread is life is eternal, this is just but one life time, we create our own destiny thru our actions (karma). Your life continues on beyond this world.

So your right I don't believe in a christian god that created the world in 6 days. Or the whole fairy tale of a son of god who died for our sins.
Believe it or not, there is spirtuality beyond christinaty.
