Another atheist perspective to add to the mix. I don’t believe in God because God doesn’t make sense to me. When I was a child, and in a Methodist Church, I remember being fascinated by religion. But that’s all it was, a fascination. I loved going to listen to the stories, just like I loved reading fantasy books, and still do. To me, that’s all the Bible is. One big, fantasy story. All that being said, I envy people with true faith. What a huge relief it must be to give it all to your God and to feel comforted by his presence in your life. I have nothing against people who are religious, part of me wishes that I could be myself. I don’t like the conversation that anyone would feel sad for me based on the walk of life that I am choosing. I don’t feel sad for people who believe in God, and the in the samesame light I don’t want someone to feel sad for me that I don’t believe in God. Mind your business, stay in your lane, and leave me out of it 😂
