I would love to believe in god.
I cant imagine how comforting it would be believing that when I die I would go to heaven. But you know what, I dont have it in me
If I said I believed in god, I would be lying. To me, having Faith is not only openly admitting you dont know, but admitting you dont care about the answer, its an admission of ignorance. Saying "because God did it" is an assault on human dignity.
I would love to give in, and to live a lie, to stop going against the grain, to "fit in". But I just cant, I wouldnt be me. I am an atheist because God doenst make sense to me. Ultimately I want to know the truth, and I feel that religion brings us further from the truth.
If one starts from a neutral viewpoint on god and religion, one can logicaly come to one conclusion. That god doesnt exist and that most religions are bad for humanity.
I become so angry and frustrated when I think about religion. I cant understand how people can have faith in god, much less be proud of their faith. Having faith in something means you believe in that thing DESPITE a lack of evidence, or the existence of evidence that supports the opposite of your beliefe.
I feel that so many people are Christians, or Muslims, or whatever because its been in their family for so long. If your parents, and grand parents, and great grand parents all believed in god, it would make sense for you to believe in god. People dont think, and they just do things because of tradition.
I find myself thinking things like that "the eventual progressment of the human race depends on the erradification of religion from the minds of the weak". The fact that i think of these things, and believe in that, it scares me. I feel like im going to offend a lot of people by saying that, but it's something I believe. I think religion is a detriment to the human race.
I want to know the truth. Religion cannot show me the truth. I think the truth is too depressing for a lot of people to accept, so they put their faith in their religions so they have a coping mechanism.
Nobody wants to be alone, we have eachother but noone realizes it. When people stop believing in god, and stop having holy wars over who's god has a bigger dick, maybe we can live in peace. And maybe, we wont be afraid of being alone, because we'll have eachother.
