i dont think god exists because there is way too much suffering and misery in the world at every level. why would god create misery just to see people struggle through life. if the terminal end of life is to die and thats when you get happy then the point of life is just unnecessary torture. ultimately i see the universe as some great cycle but we are really just above average intelligence mammals that have developed psychologically enough to come to the conclusion of the inevitability of death. unlike other mammals which lack the brain structure to do just that. so we invent different rituals and customs in order to off-set the nausea of our very limited lifespans and to ease the pain of death of loved ones, or a break-up with someone you love, etc. we need to create these things because every aspect of life is pain.
