Hello!

Hi everyone.
For purposes of this forum my name is Sister Agatha!
I am a sister and teacher at a Catholic grade school/middle school somewhere in the midwest.
Forgive me for saying so, but I was intrigued by atheism and athesits, because at some level I don't really understand them.
Now now. I know Im just a little bit biased being a nun and all, but I almost find it impossible to believe that anyone coudl really live "without God".
God is love. God is smiling at a child's fingerpainting, playing a guitar and singing a lovely song, and quite frankly just being there with for someone when they've had a crummy day, and them being there for you. In my mind God is love itself, and for me living without God would be pretty lonesome! ![[Image: embarrassed.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.happyatheistforum.com%2Fforum%2FSmileys%2Fdefault%2Fembarrassed.gif)
I suppose some of the bible stories sound a little wild, but I could never imagine living without Jesus. Honestly when I've had a bad day at school and am ready to just call it quits, I say a little prayer to Jesus..and I can't explain it..He always gives me the strength I need to get through the day.
I am so happy you agreed to let me post here, and Im really looking forward to some productive discussions!

It's really very simple. There is no evidence that your god...or any of the other gods invented by the human imagination exist.
Welcome. I guess.

Welcome! Stick around a while, SisterAgatha, and in time hopefully it'll sound less impossible. Rather a lot of us here, myself included, manage to live without gods.

Welcome.
I hope we can enlighten you to who and what atheists are.
Simply put, we're just regular humans who hold no beliefs in deities.
Ex-Catholic here.

welcome
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Welcome sister! We atheists find joy in all those things you listed. No god-belief necessary. 😉 Hope you find what you are looking for here!

Seems to me like everyone lives without God every day. Even Catholics. But that's just my opinion.
Anywho, welcome to AF. I hope you enjoy your time here

Its 'Midwest'. Capitalisation is very important, more so if you're a teacher.
You may, or may not be, someone’s sister, but you are most definitely a cunt.
