Wow lots of feedback, thanks everyone that read and enjoyed, even if you don't agree, I feel my message came across clear. If you haven't read, you're not required to, and maybe there should be a spoiler in there to prevent those that don't want to necessarily know what I know but I think the title kinda indicates that maybe you shouldn't read if you're not securely seated in your belief structure. This is a hot button topic and I was always taught don't discuss subjects like religion and politics as it makes up a large portion of the moral fabric of people's lives and was said it's like kicking the chair out from someone's butt. So please even with replying to other people's beliefs, please respect that about them as well, even if you feel they are wrong.
I don't actually regret learning what I learned, and while ignorance is bliss, you can't go back to ignorance. Just like the matrix, getting plugged back in gives you a different perspective than when you were living inside it. The information while disturbing appears to be more truth than fiction, where the previous answer appears to be more fiction than truth. Not saying either one is absolute truth, but there's a portion of truth behind both answers. You just have to weigh the ratios and find the one that fits your life the best.
Say if you had a terminal disease, would you want to know? It doesn't change anything, but it's the truth. I don't know if I have one or not, and I very well might. But it wouldn't change the way I live at all at this point. The end result is the same. In fact believing that this life is the only chance I got to experience things make me want to wait less, and do more. So there is only benefit to come from it. It's unsettling, and some answers are, not all situations are wrapped up in a nice little package with a pretty bow on top. As is life, it doesn't always work out like it does in stories.
Science and religion aren't contradictory. The TL'DR version of my theories on life and religion can be summed up in; Science is answers to problems with solutions that can be reproduced. Religion is answers to problems with solutions that can not. Science does not contradict religion, the solutions to the answers may however. It's upon the individual to to find which solution makes more sense to them. Within science the answers are peer reviewed and disputed and evolve in time getting more refined as they become largely accepted with supporting information, that practice is also highly encouraged. Whereas religion the exact opposite is true, static word written in stone and fundamental dispute is shunned, or forced to branch off into their own sect, acceptance is based on popularity or other non-tangible qualities. That in it's self sets them vastly apart. Truth doesn't require acceptance to be true.
