I'm simply suggesting that if you saw it in anything before apart from god..it;s still there now..and if you only saw it in god before..it was never there to begin with. There's just no change.

Some people aren't fulfilled by life or family. If you weren't before, it's no surprise that you aren't now. If you were before..well...you're still alive and they still exist.
Quote:I should mention I never really "truly" believed. I grew up in a Christian household, but when I was able to start thinking for myself, I eventually realized I had no reason to believe in it. I never had faith in anything.Okay then. Have you always felt that there was no transcendant good and no reason for suffering and life was meaningless and there's no point in doing anything? Your earlier comments seemed to indicate a change, and a change that had something to do with atheism..but if you've always been an atheist..........?
