this very may sound retarded, but consider religion like car insurance for a moment.

The majority have car insurance, no one wants to wreck their ride, but if they do, they are covered.

The ones that don't have car insurance, may be able to get around for awhile, but sooner or later someone will hit you, you will hit someone, or you will get pulled over.

The majority of the world believes in One God. (Muslims, Jews, Christians) True believers believe in God so much that they are willing to die for it. If they die and go to heaven, they were right. If they die and nothing happens so what?! At least they had a back up plan, just in case.

So to me it's stupid to not include religion in your life. All forms of humans have always believed in some kind of higher power, until the last hundred years or so. Why would someone risk not having a back up plan?

It's like not having car insurance, sure you might be right, you may not wreck your car tonight, but what if you do, are you confident you're not going to get in some kind of trouble for it? Of course not.

Question is are you as confident with all your heart that their is "no God" are you willing to die for that belief? If the religious are right, you will burn in hell for eternity. If they are wrong, nothing happens.

To sum this up, you have the option to have religion in your life, the same way you have the option to have car insurance, and it goes the same, If you don't have insurance, I hope you don't get caught tonight, and If you don't have religion, may you not die tonight.
