CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 (edited) I don't consider myself an atheist because I feel I shouldn't jump to conclusions about whether there's a god and afterlife or not. Also, I feel deep down inside my heart something will happen to me after I die. Edited April 19, 2015 by CC_Maud_Pie 9 All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why wouldn't I be comfortable with that, knowing death only exists when I don't? 3 Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcorDisparate 385 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 Because I have other things to think of. Knowing what's after life is a thing, making use of it is another. Because I have no answer other than my feelings, I decided to trust them and to get to the next step instead of thinking my whole life about something that I won't be able to answer anyway. 3 Signature made by Pucksterv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdlz 938 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 I'm a nobody, a learner. I don't fit anybody or anything. I don't call myself anything except a loner because deep down, we all are loners. Mind manipulation of society is the greatest weapon, not that I'm pointing fingers. It's a situation where I'm damned if I do or damned if I don't, because difference of interests or opinions causes conflict regardless. I would simply live alone, and create my own way. In doing so, I give up being happy just to spread knowledge, creating something new. Not the same force-fed stuff that you see on the news. Popularity isn't what I seek, nor approval, just existing because that's all I know how to do. https://widekmusic.bandcamp.com/album/journey-to-the-stars ^Space-djent music for Luna.

Overlord0909 479 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 Because I'm a Catholic. :3 But in seriousness, because I believe that there's a greater force out there. What could've created all the matter in the universe? It couldn't have just appeared. And I know some will say "Then where did God come from?" Well, that still leaves the original question open, and doesn't really give an answer anyways... What happens after I die, doesn't matter to me... Although, I guess it should XD Bored?

NotoriousSMALL 1,984 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 For me it's not about dying... lol. There's a lot more to it than that. For me, there is some truth behind the bible.

AlbaTross 1,586 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 Because I'm a witness to the incredible way in which God works through people, and there was a void in my life before accepting God back into it, that only he can fill. Like many kids out of high school, I drifted away from the church I was raised in, but I found another one four years later after attending my cousin's baptism. In a way, my church found me. For the uninitiated, you have no idea just how much God can blow your mind. It's kind of like how I didn't understand Bronies until I checked out FiM for myself, except on a much larger scale. I actually have a kind of respect for anyone who has adopted a religion of any kind. Even if I've adopted the only one I truly believe in, I do believe all religions are founded in solid principles, and there really is nothing like having a faith. If you take up one, I guarantee your mind will be blown by just how much your life will change, and I mean that in the best possible way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 (edited) On a natural spectrum, there is more evidence for the existence of God than there is for his supposed non-existence. In my opinion, it takes more faith to believe he doesn't exist. To believe that the universe and everything in it came about by an explosion from nothingness, is like believing a explosion in an aviation junk yard would make a Boeing plane; in other words, it goes against logic. Atheism can't explain a lot of simple things. For example, the existence of the conscious mind or morality -- the everything that separates us from animals. The evolutionary process of doing some of the most vital things to human life would take too long to figure out by chance. Chance; how can all this is be by chance? The chance of a explosion that created everything we see; the chance of these new life forms learning how to eat and procreate; the chance of a monkey becoming a human; the chance the humans would figure out how to make babies: the chance that a baby knows when to be born. So many chances -- millions of them and they all worked out so perfectly so that everything fits together like a puzzle. And this is ALL by chance? Why is it that when we stumble on hard times, there is a urge to cry out to God? I think everyone has done this at one point in there lives whether influenced by religion or not...Ask yourself why? Here are some last words from documented staunch Atheists on their death beds: Robert Ingersoll: "O God, if there be a God, save my soul, if I have a soul!" (Some say it was this way: "Oh God, if there be a God, save my soul if I have a soul, from hell, if there be a hell!" Caesar Borgia : “While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die, and am unprepared to die.” Sir Thomos Scott (Chancellor of England): “Until this moment, I thought there was neither God nor Hell…Now I know and feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the Almighty…” Just some food for thought. (P.S. There are also much spiritual evidence for God as well; but I wanted to write this from a natural and logical perspective since spiritual matters are actually harder to understand.)

SkullcandyPegasus 603 April 19, 2015 Share April 19, 2015 God has personally spoken to me. (Yeah, I sound crazy xD) I have a faith very similar to other religions though, and I believe that is because they are all from God. Religion differs slighty by the time and region to better fit the problems people face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
