I consider myself agnostic because you can not disprove or prove God. You can disprove some of the arguments in the Bible about how the world started. However, disproving one part of something doesn’t completely negate the rest. The fundamental argument is that the universe exists, unless it created itself (which I doubt), then something had to create it. The cycle had to begin somewhere. Until God can be absolutely proven to not exist, then I won’t rule out the possibility of God’s existence.
Therefore if God does exist and it can be reasoned that he does, since there is no proof that he doesn’t, then the question becomes which religion is truth? I believe religion is a way to cope with the inevitable concepts of death and the meaning of life. I would put forth the theory that the meaning of life is what we make it.
The pursuit of happiness is going to be different for everyone, therefore the answer would have to be different for everyone. The concluding argument would then have to be that we have to answer that question for ourselves. Following someones idea of the meaning, might not be correct for the individual.
As for the answer of death, I would have to say with the evidence I have that we just die. The only way to prove the afterlife, is for someone to die and be risen. If this was the case then it should be more common. However, we as a society place this afterlife concept, because the truth is horrible indeed.
How would you cope with the lost of a love one, if that would be it? I also find it unbearable. If God exists and the afterlife exists, then no one religion could be the answer. When we die, no matter the religion, they would all have to lead to the same place.
Given the scope of the Universe, I doubt God could look down and see us. He could only look down and see the beauty of the Universe, with the magnificent stars, solar systems, etc. Comparing the scale, we are nothing, but that doesn’t have to mean that we are nothing.
