I'm going to agree with robin on this one. Truth is all that matters. Believing in something that makes you feel better doesn't change what will happen.
My view is the exact opposite of robin's. Based on available evidence I think we are creations of an almighty God and are players on the world's stage of good and evil.
When I die I will go on in another form, and what I did on earth will matter.
Do I believe that because it makes me feel better or to escape being depressed because I don't want ME to just vanish when I breath my last? No. It is liberating. But in the end, all that matters is the truth.
