I think people who care about religion at all are mindless idiots who will wonder about it the rest of their life until they are dead and then nothing happens, all wasted stress for nothing. so if you are going to be religious, pick something like buddhism or hinduism or something, get some enjoyment out of it.

See: Pascal's Wager
"Pascal's Wager is an argument in apologetic philosophy which was devised by the seventeenth-century French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–1662). It posits that humans all bet with their lives either that God exists or not. Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming an infinite gain or loss associated with belief or unbelief in said God (as represented by an eternity in heaven or hell), a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God. If God does not actually exist, such a person will have only a finite loss (some pleasures, luxury, etc.)."
You gotta serve somebody, buddy! Either your impermanent, limited sensory experience of reality, or the very Cause and essence of reality itself. Either your own "being" or the very underlying nature of "To Be."
