Since this is a poll, and we are all entitled to our beliefs (or non-) this is my .02
Most of us here have gone through he%# and back, so whatever may be on "the other side" is probably a cakewalk.
Personally, I don't believe in "A" God. I'd like to think our souls go to another plane and perhaps some can interact with the physical sides of those who still inhabit bodies; who knows. I think those who need to believe in a higher power have their reasons. We need to live our lives with fairness, honesty, and qood will, and if some need a church to teach them that, then there's nothing wrong there. I don't believe in the "my faith is better than your faith" people; that's why there's so much pain and death and hatred on this earth, and we have enough of that.
The 'bible, 'torah', Quoran (Sp) all are written by MEN for MEN. So I think they are just nice stories and someone decided they'd get a little more power out of this life if they sold those stories - convincing people to "follow" the leader, as it were. Again, mortal human failings, but handed down by God? Nah. Handed down by guys with a need for power. And grabbed up on by successive guys (and women) who need power.
So religion can be good, but mostly I think it's bad, because people refuse to think for themselves if they can have someone else do it for them.
That's just my opinion.
