Not Wanting to be an Atheist
#2
RE: Not Wanting to be an Atheist
A truly thinking person will always( and always should) question what they believe.

Only the religious dogmatists don't think about their belief systems.

And yes, it would be nice to think that there is some paternal/maternal presence up in the sky looking out for us.

But in the absence of any convincing evidence a rational person has to conclude otherwise.

But in the end it is your call.

Because it takes strength of character to look up at the vast unfeeling universe, realise how utterly, utterly insignificant you truly are in comparison and still get out of bed in the morning.

Otherwise you end up seeking warmth and comfort in the flaccid bosom of your chosen deity.
