How I feel about my atheism and why I'd encourage religion

Imagine a fictional character who lives in a fantasy world in which there is an afterlife and this character has all the god-like powers of immortality and such and can overcome any problem in his/her life at his/her own will. Now from there imagine that this character be brought into this world and now lives a life in which there is no God, no afterlife, he/she is no longer immortal, and he/she now has to deal with problems just like the rest of us. I bet you can imagine how this character would feel. This character would obviously view these aspects of life as inferior to him/her. I've embraced fantasy so much it's as though I'm already a fictional character who is obviously already aware of these aspects of life.

Theres a movie about that it's called "Last Action Hero" and what happens it's exactly the opposite of that.

And just like you my personality is someone who embraces and is empowered/inspired by mystical god-like things (Neo genesis evangelion, Dragon Ball Z, Naruro, To aru majitsu no Index, Warcraft.). Therefore, this personality of mine loves atheism itself and views it as superior to my "spoiled mystically empowered personality."

Quote:For me, it would be a personality that this life itself wants me to have through all of its "inferior concepts" (such as life being full of struggles and, of course, no God and no afterlife).

Quote:I have no anger or hate towards atheists (just towards atheism itself). I made this post to see if there's anyone like me here whose personality also clashes with their atheism.

- No. What you see are trees of paper, paper flowers, paper moons and stars paper. Because you do not live in reality but in your words and thoughts. And, to top it off, unfortunately you live a life of paper and you will die a death of paper.
