Hello Truth Seekers

[omjag86]

Hello Everyone
I am very excited and relieved to have found this wonderful forum. I am a 48 year old family man and Professional stand-Up Comedian living in beautiful Los Angeles. When it comes to religion I must confess, I lost mine and hope to never find it again. My Mother was Catholic, My Father an Atheist. Mother put me in Catholic school and Catholic Summer Camp at a Seminary, (where I just missed out on being molested by Fradder David-The camp nurse rescued me) and like any true Catholic my practice was limited to the time I spent in church, while Atheism was practiced in my daily life.
Up until a few years ago I believed in some type of afterlife and karma and blah-blah-blah. I tried Christianity and then Buddhism, Zen, studied Hinduism and Tao, why I even joined a Cult for awhile, and then I started meditating everyday...and as my self awareness expanded I realized that afterlife and Gods were self created thoughts made by my fickle Ego's vain desire to live forever. I simply couldn't stand the idea that my idea of me would one day not exist anymore.
I see this as humanity's greatest struggle-to realize your own vanity and humble down. Imagine if we were to live in the moment instead of killing one another for our beliefs, what a world this could be...a role model planet for the rest of this Universe.
So ultimately I'm an Agnostic who loves to debate all comers Religious and Atheist. I can't prove a God and you can't either. You can't prove no God and I can't either-but I lean so heavy towards Atheism, because if there is any type of God, it is clearly not a judge, or an authority, or a rule maker of any sort or type.. God, would be of such vast intelligence that we would be incapable of seeing or understanding it anymore than one could pull one of these letters off their computer screen and eat it for lunch.
However, you are certainly welcome to to try.
Peace In
