Two questions for theists.

Sounds deliciously absurdist! LFC would be a fan!

Quote: I embraced the absurdity of living as a personal existent bound on each side by the darkness of oblivion.

Oh haha and that was before I read this next sentence (I read people's posts one point at a time and respond as I read). Absurdist indeed!

Quote: Whatever. In reality I felt detachment from the world despite choosing to relish every moment, living intentionally. In the end, nothing mattered.

So my question would be... do you think that if you went back to atheism would you return to the exact same sort of feeling for the exact same reasons or do you think that would it be even darker/more futile (or alternatively, a bit brighter and more positive) this time around?
