(August 6, 2010 at 3:55 pm)Edward the Theist Wrote: It dawned on me about a year ago why atheism is so attractive. I was having a hard time with existential issues. You know, what am I supposed to do with my life? What meaning do I have? Is there any reason for my birth? How can I find my purpose for being? That sort of thing.
Then I realized a startling fact: if there is no God who created me, then I have no purpose. No inherent purpose, no mission in life. If everything is chaos and natural selection, then I'm just a determined entity. I don’t have to worry about “purpose.” There is no purpose. I am free from my existential dilemma. Free at last.
All I have to do is stop believing in God.
I was wondering if any of the atheists in here would like to comment. Have any of you had the same experience?
I came to this site because I thought it was the only place I could get away from people like you.
Thank you very much kind(but not so bright) sir.
