and if some being is the cause for all the matter in the universe to be created, does that require us to worship it? do we have to pray to it and preach it? NO
In my opinion most people who believe in god only do it because they are scared of their fate, they don't know what happens when we die, so they figure "well if there is a heaven and hell, I might as well believe in god so I can go to heaven, and even if there isn't better be safe than sorry"
all I know is that I don't waste my time worrying about what happens when I die because I have very little time to waste in this reality
Alas Gandalf lives, Middle Earth is again safe...
