"I am an atheist".
Then maybe you'll realise that you're playing in the same mud we all supposedly are. Maybe you don't even have a problem with that. But if you don't, I wouldn't understand your reluctance to say the actual word.
I have met very sincere religious people. Those monks and their students had a very idealistic and noble goals.
And after meeting such unique personalities, who sacrifice so much for abstract ideals, I simply cannot say - God is a delusion. Quite the opposite, after seeing such sacrifices, im sure now that there is a God.
The problem is that, just like, Lucifer, couldnt bare the weight of idealistic life, I cant even look at It. But it doesnt mean I dont believe it exists.
Honestly, I would like if there is no God, because that way I wont have to possibly answer for all the laziness, lustfulness, greed, anger I have in my life. But at the moment I cannot not believe.
Sacrifice is no metric of truthfulness.
