I post this not because of God or religion. but because I agree with Ellen that we don't live our life to the fullest and see, enjoy and experience the present. Which is better than the future and definitely the unknown.
As for her religious views, DeGeneres was raised in a strict
Christian Science environment, and although she no longer goes to that
church, she still says that she believes in God.
"I think all
religion is based on what happens after this life. You live a certain
way so that when you die, things can be good. But why can't things be
good now? Why can't you understand that you're in heaven now? That's how
I live. I believe in God. I think that God is everywhere. Every morning
I look outside, and I say, 'Hi, God.' Because I think that the trees
are God. I think that our whole experience is God," DeGeneres revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
