The fundamental assumptions of Christianity simply don't make sense to me; so my lack-of-Christianity has nothing to do with bitterness, anger, or rebellion. And, generally, I'm pretty happy fellow. I have a good life, and I'm content - by which I mean spiritually satisfied, not spiritually lazy. <br><br>I realize that there are people who think that such a thing is simply not possible, but who am I supposed to believe? Them? Or my own lyin' eyes?Michael Mockhttp://www.mockwriting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-90891063523294868882009-05-09T01:50:50.000-04:002009-05-09T01:50:50.000-04:00Being an atheist has made me a happier person.

I adore the wonder of nature, the chaos of life, the randomness of quantum physics, the vastness of the universe, the possibilty of 'god particles', the possibility of extraterrestrial life, seeing true altruism in strangers, learning about different cultures, art, music and love.<br>I love being free to enjoy, appreciate and have these experiences without having to worry about offending any non-existent creatures.<br><br>Sheeple (I love that term!) only demean themselves by having to attribute their ignorance to 'god'.TheRandomFishhttp://therandomfish.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-43504937439234614422009-05-09T05:29:51.000-04:002009-05-09T05:29:51.000-04:00I too felt relieved and even happy once I admitted...I too felt relieved and even happy once I admitted to myself that I was an agnostic atheist. To think that we're always depressed, or angry... I think we have much less to be depressed or angry about than our theistic counterparts, at least in one area of our lives!Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352648376305239677.post-87593279836965809402009-05-09T17:22:01.000-04:002009-05-09T17:22:01.000-04:00I feel your pain, James.

How can it? <br><br>It's all the other stuff that does; I like myself, I love my family, I have great friends, I get to visit Disneyland at least once a month, I have a great job in an uncertain economy, I've listened to all six thousand songs on my iPod at least once, I know a bunch of sites like this one where I can vent my spleen from time to time, Star Trek just came out, Terminator 4 is coming out in two weeks, UP is coping out at the end of the month, etc. Etc.<br><br>I'm a happy guy.
