I believe there is a creative force at work in the Universe. I also believe that when we die there might be a release of energy, but I believe we turn to dust like every other living thing does when it ceases to live.

If there is a “god” I don’t believe anyone knows his/her mind. I believe religion was created by men to explain things they didn’t understand.

The statement “we were created in the image of God” isn’t a physical image. It means that we were given a mind that is able to rationalize, think, learn, create and make choices (free will) beyond just acting on instinct. That is the image we share with God; the mind of God is the mind that we mirror and that no other living being has. Or so is what that statement means…
