Steve allow me to give you my views:

Does God exist?
I don't know, you don't know, no one knows because
no one can PROVE that God exists.

Does God not exist?
I don't know, you don't know, no one knows because
no one can PROVE that God does not exist.

Is there an "after life"?
I don't know, you don't know, no one knows because
no one can PROVE there is an "after life".

Human beings have been creating gods since the dawn
of time. Christianity is simply the latest god in a long series
of gods that man has created over thousands of years
primarily to answer questions that have no answers.
The bible asserts that it has the answers but the bible was
written by men who thought the sun revolved around the earth
and is therefore not a reliable source of information as to how
the universe was created.
The men who wrote the bible wrote what they wanted
to believe not necessarily what was factual at the time.
The bible tries to justify itself by saying the writers were
"inspired by the word of God". Again it is men who said
they were inspired. Anyone can say that, even Ayn Rand.
Now you know where I am coming from Steve.
