There are an inestimable number of religions and beliefs in the world. The belief that your personal faith - decided upon with no evidence basis - is the correct one; and that you are chosen, pre-destined, etc. and the rest of humanity (and 99% of all sentient life that has ever existed over millions of years) is simply here to die and/or suffer for eternity in a supernatural after-world is simply mind boggl...I mean mind-bottling - and one of the most apathetic forms of cruelty imaginable. It is a self-centered, arrogant, and short-sighted position that no rational or compassionate person should be able to justify. I know this first-hand as this form of cognitive dissonance was something I desperately tried to justify during my irrational and indoctrinated youth.
