Is that I know anyone who claims certainty is full of it...we don't know for sure one way or another, and I personally do not feel the "need" to know one way or another...it is far more important to regulate how we deal with each other in the here and now than speculate where we came from, what is the "purpose" of life, and what may or may not happen after we die.
But I do know that logically todays religions are no different than in the past, in that they fill a void in our knowledge. The difference is that religious people today will mock past faiths (like Zeus sitting on a cloud), and dismiss is at rubbish, but would be insulted if I insnuate that one day people MAY be mocking thier beliefs. Human history has shown us how we as a race like to make up answers rather than admit we do not know. Nothing in today's religions is any different, and it is very arrogant to claim that YOUR religion is the right one and all the others are full of it.
In the end...what it boils down to imho, is believe whatever works for you...BUT:
1) Do not harm others.
2) Let them believe what THEY want.
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
