ok, god is the answer, the creator, the reason for all things to be in existence and the setter of purpose. god is a variable we use to explain the unexplainable.

If you're bad in life, youre stuck with eternal damnation, but if youre good and follow the rules we've laid out, then youre in for an eternity of pleasure. The actual existence of a god is not important, it's easier just to say "yes, there is a god, and he created the universe and he created time and blahblahblah." simply for the reason of moving past the unnatainable. We're cursed with a consciousness of our surroundings and of our own existance, to think of life as pointless would make us lose our drives to live, and therefor we'd most likely die off as a species, so divine hope is a natural element set to ensure the propagation of the species.
