God Became a Mirage
March 20, 2009 at 3:01 am
My conversion has been an extremely gradual realization that what I believe is not the same thing as believing in God. I thought it was for a long time. But I know now that such is not the case.

That doesn't mean I'm some reject who throws out the baby with the bathwater and follows atheistic doctrine with the same deluded illogic that the religious follow the Pope. It seems to me that nature is monistic, and that humans exist to evolve the consciousness of nature. That's not the same thing as believing in God.

I guess by joining this forum I have finally chosen a side. I have finally come to admit that in my strange non-religious take on the universe, I am more comfortable in the company of atheists.

It's paradoxical, you know: the more you feel yourself becoming one with God, the more God ceases to exist.
