I also find it hard to come under an organized faith so I don't. Still, I don't think it's right to say that all people that do fall under the "organized religion" category are brainwashed, conditioned, close-minded morons. Like stated before, all people believe in something different. While it may not make sense to us, it could be the world to them. Besides, at the end of this road we call life, there's no telling who's right and who's wrong. We could simply cease to exist, find St.Peter at the Pearly Gates, be awoken by the second coming of Christ, or find ourselves reborn in a different physical state. Who knows?


All I'm saying is, I think religious ppl focus too much on trying to convert others and on which religion is better/right/accurate, rather than trying to live a good/pure/spiritual/meaningful life. Which is what religion should be all about, essentially being the best you can be. And when a person is content and good, it radiates off of you all day long and influences other ppl to feel better about themselves.

As far as that last part goes, no one rlly knows, I personally think there will be nothingness...
