Just A Thought ~ WHY?

Nature is impersonal and impartial, and cares nothing if we live and die; prayer to it is unavailing. In the future, when we have evolved more and learned to accept responsibility for our lives instead of ascribing things to gods or demons (as many people still do), or fortune and luck, the question: "Do you believe in God?" will give way to "Why do you believe in God?"

God will be looked upon as a vestige of our primitive past, when we didn't understand the forces of nature and imagined spirits in storms, floods, earthquakes, droughts, pestilence, and so on, and sought to appease them with prayers, petitions and sacrifices. Many gods were 'born' this way; many have been 'pensioned-off' and forgotten, as they never existed to begin with.
