If I said that religion (what I believe) is a way to "control" people in a sense, would I get hated on? I think FFVII and the life stream has more meaning (scientifically) than heaven and hell. What I mean to say, the earth's gravity is something like "atoms pulling each together" and the human body is a lot of different atoms. So when we decompose, we "return to the Earth" non?

I think I don't know, but it would be worth looking in to. If I knew more about science.
