Where does one begin with such a post?
I think it is called "freedom's misty dawn". the atheist says "now what?"
the questions that where answered must now be revisited.
How did it all begin?
Now instead of just simply saying "God" we must peck at the huge mystery with what little tools we have and honestly it may never truly be answered.
Why are we here?
Again instead of the ussual answer which was so easy now we must really look not only at ourselves but also at reality and ultimatly our part in it.
This question has devestated people in the past.
What happens after we die?
It is a real comfort thinking that all will be well because you believed that you had faith in the right deity and therefore will go to a heaven of some sort. It's really a nice thought. I don't blame anybody for wanting such a security blanket.
We face death as the end that it is as far as we the living can know. However in doing so we LIVE life. We love deeper. We speak truer.
To me all this is a wonderful awesome mirical that I am alive and can live for a time to understand and love this reality. At the same time I also know that i am not even a speck in the vastness of the known universe.
This is too much for the typical person to encompas so they go about living their lives with heads bowed and hearts unburdened with these heavy questions because they let someone else decied those answers for them.
If every one believed in the "God" then these questions would not have to be faced. That my friends is the reason why they try so hard to convert us in my humble oppinion.
