Hello from a new atheist and a new member
August 7, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Hello everyone. I have had these nagging doubts about the existence for a long time though I was not an atheist then. I became an atheist just 6 months back. Before that I liked to think that there was a supernatural entity something great and majestic, but has not been defined or recognized by any religions. Then I realized the futility of my thinking. If there was a God, or a super natural entity, it would be a universal truth like the Water or the Sun or heat or light and will be recognized as such by all the people in the world. There has not been any war about the nature of water of the nature of sun light and every religion recognizes them for what they are. if there was so much difference between the various religions about the way they felt about God, then it made sense that there was no such thing. Otherwise, I would have recognized God for it/she/he was as a truth as fundamental as Water, Light, Heat etc.

Sorry for the long, dull intro, otherwise happy to join and I hope I could share my thoughts with people share similar views on belief.

-- ss.

Thanks to all who have welcomed me here. As for the two 'ss' in my name, ssmutters happens to be my handle in some other site since I couldn't create one with my name there. I used the same here for lack of imagination I guess Smile My name is sudha, and i'm called s or ss by my friends and colleagues.

Hobbes: What if God punishes you for thinking that and you get no presents for Christmas?
Calvin: Actually I am having the same doubts about God as well.

(My apologies to calvin and hobbes for citing them without their permission and hope they wouldn't mind).

Thanks...

I just noticed - I seem to have left out 'God' in the very first sentence of my introduction.

Don't worry about that. You don't need a god.
