First of all, abandon the silly notion that we had to be created.
Secondly, we came to be through the lengthy process of evolution.
Introduction to Human Evolution
Currently, not suffering any illnesses and still in the prime of my life, I can state with certainty that I am not afraid to die. Neither do I have a religious belief to falsely comfort me, for I am an infidel. I figure that most people truly begin to fear death for one of two main reasons...
If someone is going to irrationally employ religious beliefs to deny equal rights to someone else, using subjective dogmatic morality to cloak unacceptance, then I am going to reasonably refer to that religious person as a hater of humanity.
I remember watching a movie based on real life events, cannot recall the title, regarding a young boy who was kidnapped as a child and raised to engage in sex with his male kidnapper. When the boy was older, after he'd managed to escape, he formed sexual relationships with women because he was...

Just as Satan was concocted as a moral scapegoat for mankind, god was concocted as the "judge, jury, executioner"...

I would have to disagree.
There are fictional concepts to which we can allude and state with certainty those "characters" don't exist despite having been imagined by the mind. God, just as much a fictional concept as Spider-Man, does not get a pass merely because many people believe in his...
Yet religion doesn't adequately answer anything logically in accordance with perceptive and empirical reality. All religion does is fill in the gaps of knowledge with a readily comforting, unprovable, answer instead of reasonably announcing "I don't know".
