The last year I have found my self straying from my religious beliefs. I have not flat out convinced my self that there is not a God, but the more I think of it the more it is hard to comprehend. It is also hard for me to think we came outta nowhere and have so many things that are just right for us to function.
According to the way I was raised, you do not die and go up or down right away... so that idea never bothered me.
My grandmother always explained death as a nap. While you may be dead 100 years, it would only feel like minutes of sleep, when resurrected. Kinda like falling asleep on a trip then waking up and saying, "Wow we are here already?"...
My grandma was the best person in my life. She said when she had a few things taken care of and paid off she was ready to go to sleep. I never liked hearing her say that when I was younger...
But sure enough when she got the last of her payments on her house taken care of and some other things... She died less than a week later. I remembered those words that used to anger me so much before, but now they had a whole new meaning to me.
If religion is a complete joke as many believe it is, I just hope that I can be as fooled as she was to live a decent and happy life, and then die peacefully without a worry.
