i don't think you're going to hell. if there were some all-seeing all-knowing all-forgiving god above, i don't think he'd damn you for saying something like that, especially concidering how true it is. on an evolutionary level, people have it inscribed into thier genes to want to survive: but with the ability to think rationally and concider one's own existence, one also gaines the curse of needing to rationalize thier being alive. people have always beleived in gods because it makes them feel that they have a place in the world, feel more meaningful; which is a good thing, but on the other hand, they get too agressive about it, because when the only thing supporting thier beleifs that they have a reason to live is threatened, they become scared and agressive, and in an attempt to make the oppressor seem incorrect, they turn the oppressor into an enemy. it's human nature to have enemies, as it is with any animal; to a dog an enemy is a cat strolling through his owners back yard, and it's the same thign with people, only on a more social level; and the fact that we no longer feed our animalistic lusts like killing only fuels our angst to betray one another even more. people are complicated messes and everyone is going crazy under this structued society. it makes me feel much better about life to put my faith and love in myself and the knowledge that people are immature children fighting against the wind, than it does to put all my emotions into a god figure.
