Theistic Inclinations

[Zenith]

Hello all,

I would like to inform all that I have theistic inclinations. When I apply rationalism, I am clearly an atheist. When I let go of rationalism and let my emotions run, I feel lightened up with thoughts about god.

Regardless whether god exists or not, it is good to live with imagination at times. These times, my imagination includes god.

Deliberate rationality leaves me depressed and feeling empty. Ideally, I'll limit use rationality to only times when I am handling scientific issues, addressing humanitarian issues and dealing with the reality.

I hope that this can spark a good discussion,

Regards

One of the things that might have helped me abandon religion was the fact that God never helped me when I needed him the most. When you are fucked up, and feeling like everything is falling apart, so that it would be great if there was someone to help you cope with the problems you have, if your best bet for help is from an immaginary person, then you're in deep shit.

Anyway, it might be that completely "letting go" of God is not a thing that happens instantaneously, but progresses slowly, like growing up does. Perhaps your need to include god in your imagination will die off one day.
