You may ask yourself. If you don't believe in things that are objectively true and such, why do you believe in god, and why do you believe in morality? Shouldn't you live like how you want since we all die in the end?
Well, i consider my beliefs in god a objective truth, and/or at least hold weight observationally. First, life has a paradox. Lets start with a question. What came first, the chicken or the egg? One can say the egg, one can say a variation of the chicken. But this question is set for you to ponder on the paradox of the answer itself. The real question is; What was first before the thing, that created the thing, that created the thing, that created the thing inf., that created the chicken or the egg? The answer can only be a thing that is outside the realm of time and creation itself, since before something, another thing had to have existed. And since energy cannot be created or destroyed, the first block has always existed(since we exist). The answer is the beginning of understanding the concept of "god".
God is common sense in a way. Ideologies behind god is where things get silly. Things like god prefers this, god is this and that, and groups/ideologies formed behind these concepts that are beyond our capability of understanding, since we do not understand everything. This leads us to the flaws of ideology. Also, If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. By this statement, we can concur that its likely we wont have god figured out completely by our own devices (body/brain etc), and that ideology would almost always guarantee a flaw when categorizing and subjecting such a thing that encompasses existence itself.
Also, what about morality? Well, i treat it as a gamble. I might not gain anything from primarily choosing the better good, like sympathy, empathy, charity etc. but its a gamble. People who choose to do these acts in my opinion are gambling with "god" for positive (treating others the way you want to be treated). Bad karma is simply too much of a loss if true, and not much of a gain if false. I believe this is why the books claimed the beginning of wisdom is the fear of god. In this world, i may have to be a piece of shit sociopathic exploiter of men and women to survive, but since i dont really find the peaks of pleasure in life itself to be that much worth it, with life too short to be considered a instrument of enjoyment, it may be wiser to find stability away from those actions, and perhaps choose to divest in that just incase it leads to a worst outcome of future existences..
Also, there's a gamble with life being true after death. But if you ask me, the idea has high odds of being true.
We exist. Our only observation of life is existing. So the odds of existence happening again after death is similarly high, since it happened already with seemingly impossible odds. Like i said, nothing much can be gained or lost from this being false, and more can be potentially gained or lost from this being true.
