Nothing can possibly give oneself more joy than that what 'is found' in the Lord Jesus and the unprecidented grace and mercy of God! Regardless of whether my beliefs are right, this love, joy and compassion are real, and nothing can be more rewarding or satisfy the soul more than this!I love it when a Christian says they are sorry for atheists because we don't know the love you're feeling. It's kind of akin to a schizophrenic feeling bad for everyone else because they can't hear those awesome voices in their head. There is no need to feel sorry for people free from spiritual delusion. While I can't speak for anyone here, most atheists I have known in real life have no problem reproducing what you 'find' in the lord with psychoactive chemicals.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
