BTW, I was raised Catholic and believed fervently until about age 30 when the cracks in my faith started opening wider, and then collapsed completely when I realized I was just lying to myself and the universe made better sense if you look at it without some all-powerful deity controlling it.
Quote:To those who said higher powers but not a god, how would you describe the higher powers?
Well, like I said a higher power like the power of nature. Which you'd have to study meteorology to understand it. But I don't believe in any supernatural higher power.
Quote:To those who don't believe in anything, do you feel there is a sense of purpose in your life?
Yes, just like I'm assuming you and everyone else does. I've got a job, a wife, and two kids which are my primary focus in life right now, but aside from work and family, I believe the purpose of life is to not only live life, but to also enjoy it. I live my life just like religious people do, except that I don't take time out to worship or pray.

You said "Jehovah!"
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
