life lives out in sins, sufferings or fear is what makes people going to religion. they want a happy, fearless and sin-forgiven life.
he listened to the speaker. he's none other than our world famous anti-religion guru, the atheist, the author of the 'selfish gene' - richard dawkins
to him, he has no fear, no sin, and doesn't suffer from any miss-givings.... his life is boundless.
then this fren of him, who is dawkins' ardent supporter asked him, "why bother to get yourself be bonded by all these imaginative bonds?"
"i don't know.... i remember as far back as, when i was a child, i used to fear a lot of things.... and pray to a lot of gods, for fearing to tress pass on them....."
"tell you what, there's nothing out there to pin you down..... just your own gene that's making up all these imaginations."
"why? you mean you have a different gene from mine?"
"perhaps, at least i can say mine is a selfish gene.... i only feel for what i need, not for others...."
"ok... meaning mine is an altruistic, or sympathetic or social gene which is capable of feeling for others, hence the concept of fear, sins, and suffering mean very real to me, than to you?"
