As much as we know for ourselves about where religion goes too far off the boundaries of logic, it's taboo to even talk about it with someone who 'knows' about it or is in high authority of whatever religious sect.
There's always two results that come to mind: Either they denounce you and send you away thinking that you're one of 'satan's minions', or they say that 'God's logic cannot be questioned by mere humans.'
If the latter was the case, then where's the truth? The Bible? Which was written by 'God's hand guiding the minds and hands of the people who wrote them.'? That which went through lots of translations into other languages, which I'm pretty sure makes it full of corruptions? The very foundation of faith is questionable by itself, and no one holds a concrete answer as to why it is soooo holy. I'm not questioning the Bible's authority here, but rather, I am questioning the Bible as it is now. Corrupted by human minds and hands.
Where's the truth in that? The Bible itself even says that to alter whatever is written in it is a sin.
Personally, I'm still open to believing God, as soon as there's one solid truth that I can actually believe in. Other than that, as Nix said, "Religion is just something that society imposes on us." Nothing more than that.
As for the end, when it happens, it happens. It's unnerving, but it's pointless to be afraid, as even if there's something you want to do about it, the world holds no answer for you.
