    I am a very old person, and still have sometimes nightmares of the stories that we were told when we were children, ..... when God will appear on the skies, on the Day of Judgement, sending the people on the left to hell and the people on the right to heaven. It was a horrible story and very scare that tormented me for years. I hate religion and I believe it does more bad than good to anybody. People should be prosecuted for telling those horrible stories to children, who are the least ones that committed crimes.

      You sound very easily distraught, and the hells that these texts are referring to are something that sound similar to the place your consciousness is currently existing in.

      I find the act of believing is the source of the problem. Why must we believe, especially with certainty? I hope it becomes more popular to admit, "I don't know". That is the most appropriate answer to almost all questions. Yet some humans have a need to believe, like it is their identity. "Why do you believe it?", normal response, "I don't know, I just feel it is true.", then, "Can you back it up with sufficient evidence such that you are willing to present the concept in front of brilliant, skeptical minds?". I suspect some things are true and some things are not true, but I am not at all mentally committed like the idea of belief. I will admit in any discussion, I don't know, but here is what I suspect and why. Folks seem to confuse beliefs with knowledge. As in, "Do you know a god is real?", response almost always, "Yes". This is a claim of knowledge with certainty, not "I suspect there might be a god, but I don't know." I don't see the falue in belief. What one believes has nothing to do with what is or isn't true. So yes, listen to Sam Harris, don't believe him. He would not believe you, nor would I, but I would listen carefully as I suspect he would. I would listen carefully, not to believe but to understand. I do not insist people think like I do about belief. I just put it out there for consideration, not to be believed. I could be a raving lunatic.

      @@thomastucker5686 Well said. Sam Harris has vocalized this very idea; unlike many popular religious and conservative speakers (and liberal speakers, of course), a great number of his fans hold him to his word. They will call him out when he makes a slip up or if there's a disconnect between the facts and the conclusions he's deriving from them. And he said he would not have it any other way.

If it is a matter whereby I have little information, that is the foundation I approach it from, I know nothing, I am ignorant, so belief would be the most ridiculous approach.
