Being an OCD atheist is not easy
#5
RE: Being an OCD atheist is not easy
I'm pretty sure I no longer have faith, it's just the fear of being wrong that keeps drilling at me. I know that people believe in a god just to explain what they don't understand or can't explain. It's those damn miracles in the Bible that keep me from breaking completely free. They've got to be just mythology, right? Just because I can't explain something doesn't mean it's an act of a supreme being. As time goes on, more and more is explained, and the Bible becomes sillier and sillier.

I'll be okay. I'm sure things will get better with time. My life really is better now that I'm not devoting everything to satisfying a god that just can't be proven to exist.

Anyways...
