How I feel this morning

I didn't feel guilty about anything. Looking at the topics on this forum there are some things I don't know about that I wish I did, like how life and the universe was created, what time is. That would be cool to know those things but I don't need to know them to sail through my day. Life is full of good things. I don't need the religious baggage to weigh me down. Don't need a skydaddy and angels to guide me to be moral. When life has done with me, which I can reasonably expect is not going to be today, I know I will cease to exist and that's fine. Or maybe my mind will exist as a quantum possibility somewhere and that will be cool too....but I will be going where everybody else goes. I am not being judged.

I don't think its feasible to expect yourself to be able to know everything about everything, including things such as universal origin and 'time'. After all, you're only human. What's better is an open mind to new information and the ability to disseminate the bullshit.

I've been an atheist my entire life. And my observation about my life vis the life of theists I know and that I'm friends with is that, more or less, our good and bad 'luck' is about the same. George Carlin was onto something when he said it doesn't really matter what you (don't) believe. The same things happen to theists as they do to atheists. It doesn't really appear to make any difference.
