Beauzeaux, somehow it's fitting that this quote is to the left as I read your post:
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
[Albert Einstein, obituary in New York Times, 19 April 1955]
