Atheism liberated me from pointless thinking,and made my life enjoyable.
When I was a child I saw beauty and astonishment in life without the need of god or any other believe. As I have grown older I got introduced to different ideologies one of them was spirituality and as soon as I have entered that path the beauty and magic I saw as a child disappeared. I was living in spiritual fantasy and I have overlooked the beauty that was right in front of me,I was spending more time in my head thinking about spirituality,god,afterlife,...and I just overlooked the magic that was right here the whole time. I can say that I'm getting back to the point where I saw beauty and magic in everyday life just as I did when I was a child.
Spirituality and religion does not make life richer they make life poorer they abuse you,enslave you,... Because of this ideologies you miss the beauty of life and instead of appreciating,exploring what you can perceive you spend your time thinking about stuff that make you miss out of life. You think about comfortable fantasy stories and because of this you can't see or experience the real reality (where your life is really at)
I can say that atheism liberated me from pointless thinking and worrying and to just appreciate and to really see the beauty of our universe,just as it is,and for this I will be forever thankful.

Hope that this makes any sense.


Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.
-Carl Sagan

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
-Douglas Adams

Death is certain replacing both the siren-song of paradise and the dread of hell. Life on this earth with all its mystery and beauty and pain is then to be lived far more intensely;we stumble and get up,we are sad,confident,insecure,feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more,but I want nothing more.
-Christopher Hitchens

If you can't find beauty where you are right now,where do you then expect to find it?
