Our religious beliefs (as varied as they are) come from men and women either believing they hear their deity speak to them or just making it up. So in reality it becomes a circular arguement.Why do you bury the dead? So they make it to the afterlife. How do you know that is what you have to do? Cause we decided that is what needed to do. Why didnt you just decide cremation gets you to the afterlife? Oh we used to do that, but we were cutting down all the forests, and we didnt want to freeze in the winter, so we decided to go with burial instead. Who decided this? The priests of course, they were granted a vision by the almighty. Ok.....See what I mean?</blockquote>
