How do you deal with life now that you are an atheist? (With a little of my life)

[Thumpalumpacus]

Personally I think people can only support that seductive sense of the human condition in a godless universe for so long. Eventually the reductive view of Man prevails leaving atheists with the bleak conviction that human beings are electro-chemical reactions advanced by chance and necessity. We are only physical and purely physical things aren’t about anything; they just are. That perspective is literally dehumanizing because it dismisses as illusions the very things that make us human, such as rationality, signification, choice, and personal identity.

I certainly don't feel that way. My atheism has managed thirty-five years without lurching towards this projective description.

I could just as easily say that those faithful who feel the need to discuss their faith publicly are desperately trying to shore up their sagging faith, which is collapsing under the weight of secret doubts.
