God and Heaven

This morning—the first morning of 2010 or the decade—I woke up with the thought that why does it matter whether there is a God in Heaven. How come we are busy in creating a hell on this earth dreaming of heaven after we die or even kill ourselves in the process? Whether we believe in evolution or creationism we know that every material thing on this earth gets recycled and eventually becomes a part of the earth. Maybe there is a soul which flies off to some distant creator's embrace and experience untold joys but for that we inflict untold miseries on our fellow creatures while talking of sacredness of life in the embryo.

"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
-Genesis 3:19 (King James Version)

I am an athiest. I could be wrong about God and afterlife.

I simply don't know and don't care. I will only find out when my body lies lifeless and given up the ghost! But does that matter or even worth worrying about rather than thinking about life on earth and how to make it more enjoyable on this earth.
