Hey there!
I grew up as an Christian and been all my life untill I started asking questions.There were certain things that just didn't add up and didn't make any sense and I've always had that little voice of common sense nagging me...The internet is great source of information and I got what I was looking for. I now know that God/Jesus/Holy Spirit, etc do not exist. I futher know that the Bible contradicts itself in so many various places its actually funny!
Being an Atheist is going to be a bit of a lonely road though. My mom is still a very devout Christian as are most of my friends. Mom is not going to very happy with her son going to "hell" for turning his back on Christianity. How would a approach the religion subject when friends enquire about your believes these days? If we would have a discussion as to "why" I will start to state the obvious and arguments against religion which most people don't like (or want) to know. Most people don't like to hear the truth because they need something to believe in...
So, really what I want to know is how to live a happy life being an atheist? I havn't got eternal life to look forward to. I will cease to exist when I die...I still believe in being good to my fellow man and still believe in treating others like I would like to be treated but knowing that I will one day just cease to exist is a bit daunting
