I don't find any meaning in life other than to live.

Everything you do is pointless in the grand scheme of things. Let's say you are THE best thing to happen to humanity, you give all the cures for cancer, solve the theories in quantum physics, etc etc... once the universe implodes on itself, it won't matter. Nothing will exist anymore. Nothing.

The more I progress through life, the more I take an agnostic point of view. It's very naive to think that a god just "poof" created everything out of the blue like explained in the Bible. The whole "heaven vs. hell" thing is very ape-like thinking, to me.

You're telling me that with all this science and discovery in quantum physics that's going on.. and alllll the interesting developments in biology, you expect me to think that all this was just created at the drop of a hat? At the same time, it's unreasonable to expect me as a human to be presented with all this stuff and take a stance on "I don't know if God exists." and later find out "well, you didn't believe in god during your life, so you're going to hell." That's kinda bs.

On the other hand... something is up. Everything about the universe, energy, everything... something is causing it. Dunno if it's a "God" or just the natural way of the way things are..

Not enough prove to believe, not enough proof to disbelieve, but definitely think a lot of the "rules" in religions were created way back when to police the people. It's definitely easier to spook people into behaving by convincing them that there's this almighty being that will grant you enternal paradise for being good and one that will eternally damn you if you're bad.
