Confusion set in, a complete upheaval of all I had known. All of these facts ingrained by repetition throughout my childhood and youth. Curiosity and conscious thought in myself becoming my family's worst fear. Too much questioning when they have nothing but feelings to back up beliefs. They follow the sect so blindly and give themselves away to faith. Out of fear, ease, or comfort I know not. I know it makes no sense to me. I know I would feel crazy to blindly believe in something based on a feeling that could easily have been heartburn, or just in my head.
Existence itself is such a marvel to comprehend; A beautiful unfolding of events that created life. To think we are somehow more important than other creatures is what tempts us to create these false realities where we are reincarnated or resurrected. Our obsession with a divine eternity that we are so bold to think is created for us. Belief in a Deity had it's place in history, it's place was before modern science. It's purpose was to explain what we couldn't.
Evolution gave us complex critical thinking skills and we use them to create nonsense realities. We kid ourselves because we are so afraid. We are afraid to face death. We are afraid that our existence will mean nothing. We have a desire to feel more important than what in reality we really are. Simply a species with critical thought. Nothing more. A species that may destroy this amazing planet that brought us to existence. Essentially destroying ourselves.
