God is the gossip of the living

God is the gossip of the living. Religion and faith are the aims of a short lived mortal animal with a higher awareness. As Freud put it man is the wishing animal. To be dead is to be without faith. The dead require no faith or religion only what is true.

"To exist is equivalent to an act of faith, a protest against the truth, an interminable prayer."
E. M. Cioran
