Why do you not believe in the concept of a God?

Good evening Angrboda,

Thank you for sharing your story with us! I was wondering, What is it that you found positive in your worship to Kali? Did you ritually practice or just in the name so to say. Are you fully atheist now or have you found another form of belief since? Thanks for your time!
