What is being an Atheist like?
#52
RE: What is being an Atheist like?
1. Because I deemed Atheism to be Correct and tested it through logic I became an Atheist.
Therefor if the most logical thing of all deemed a God to exist, I would be slightly skeptical(Of course), but once I have looked into how the results were achieved I may believe it.
2. Some Good, Some Bad, not much different from when I was a Theist.
Sometimes Theists are assholes on things like Christmas and when I tell them that I am an Atheist while they talk to me about religion, that seems to be the only negative repercussion. A positive feeling towards some amount of control may be brought by Atheism.
3. I never really thought my purpose was brought on by some God.
My personal Philosophy is that you make your own purpose.
Society works by Supply and Demand. Your purpose in that is to Supply goods and services that are needed or wanted in some form or another. I always was Cynical even when I was a Theist, so that isn't particularly bad in my view.
4. Death: Once it ends it ends. Quoting Mark Twain, "I am not Scared of Death, for I have been dead for thousands of years before my birth."
5. I found another forums site and some YouTube channels to read and watch. I was a bit of a Forums browser before becoming an Atheist, so this isn't exactly extremely unexpected. I also watched YouTube videos.

How is this for you?
