2. If you start as a 'tabula rasa' what religion makes any sense?

Do we look back at where we came from with trepidation and fear?

Each and everyone of us can gaze into the unknown we came from and expect that is exactly where we are going, just like our observation of all life that we know of.

Look at a book. Everything is between the covers. Nothing before it, nothing after.

The story we write between the covers is all that matters.

Can religion and 'a leap of faith' make that a "better" story? Absolutely!
