my belief:
The belief in a god is subjective by nature. Every individual has a chance to create their own personal god. It is their choice to have one or to not have one. People create rules or commandments for themselves that they must follow, not god. If they do not follow their own guidelines, they are condemned to their own creation of hell and there god is their to help motivate them to do good to stay away from this place and to give them comfort.
Short summary:
God = Subjective (If you believe in him he exists for you and only you. If you dont believe in god, then he does not exist.)
Afterlife = Only exists in imagination (If you believe you are going to hell, then when you die you will go to a hell that you have created. If you believe that there is nothing after death, then there will be nothing.)
Another idea that occured to me is that the belief of a non-personal God and the belief in science are the exact same thing. They both are answers to unanswered questions that require faith. Both can not be proven (god or theories) and they both can be modified and changed over time to whatever fits the popular belief at that time.
I want to open this up to anyone who might have somthing to add... my views are open to change and i want to hear what other poeple think (especially criticism).
