How can Atheism affect one's life?
I am not bothered by no one's opinion.I am calm.Agnostism is fine but when you have a fanatic in your family that can be hard to deal.Well I am not an extreme Atheist I just really believe that is god but he might be by a slight chance.God is there for the one who believes.But it matters some Atheist can be more kind than Christians.I am 50/50 Agnostic and AtheistIt takes just as much faith to be an Atheist as it does to be a Christian, in my opinion. I think the wisest answer is accepting that we don't know. (Agnosticism)
But to answer your question. It could affect your life in mixed ways. It depends on you. If you're prepared for heated discussions to prove your stance on this and that, where in order to feel okay, you may have to distance yourself from the judgement of others. If you can't do that, it's probably better to just say you don't want to argue. If you can however, and those comments don't bother you then you're good to go as long as that is what you truly believe, you have a right to do so! Christians go through that too, but not as much, since a lot of people associate Christianity with being a "goog person" lol. This is strictly where I am from though, in the Bible belt of the US where the is a church on every corner.
If it's something you're set on, try surrounding yourself with like minded people unless you thrive on chaos and conflict.Good luck!
I am not trying that.I know that I should keep thing to myself.I don't mean to offend or upset a member.Sorry for the people that I had upset with my posts sorrythere are times when you need to keep your beliefs to yourself. In dealing with matters of faith, trying to convince someone who hold a strong view of your belief is pointless.
Hey it's okey , afterall you just said what you think of the matter , it's good to question things when we don't find our purpose behind it so that we can get back to track , if you don't know what's right anymore than use your google and look for your answers.I am not trying that.I know that I should keep thing to myself.I don't mean to offend or upset a member.Sorry for the people that I had upset with my posts sorry![]()
Thank you.I am paranoid most of times now.Hey it's okey , afterall you just said what you think of the matter , it's good to question things when we don't find our purpose behind it so that we can get back to track , if you don't know what's right anymore than use your google and look for your answers.
Not believing in God is one thing, but actively trying to disprove His existence and looking down on those that believe in him is another. And that hate generated from the latter is negative energy which festers inside the perpetrated as well as those targeted.
It takes just as much faith to be an Atheist as it does to be a Christian, in my opinion.
Do you want to talk it out sometime ?Thank you.I am paranoid most of times now.
Yes.When you can(I am from Romania so our time zones might not corelate soyes if you want to tell someting tell it now.Do you want to talk it out sometime ?
Hope you have one too@TheDevvil156,
Sometimes it seems like we are in an either-or situation of either believing that:
1) There is a bearded grandpa in the sky who knows and logs everything you do, and will make you fry forever after death if you don't do or believe the right things
2) You (people in general) are just a fluke that essentially came about from atoms banging each other around - you were born on this rock, you have a short existence here, and absolutely nothing follows. Things like love, a feeling for beauty, etc. are all just flukes.
If you ever have some time, in my humble opinion, Alan Watts does a good job of offering a more sensible model of consciousness/the universe (unlike the myths mentioned above) that draws from eastern thought.

There is a diffrence between how people make it seem and what it actually is , first no one knows how god looks like , second my religon is less about rules and more of the comfort you gain from practicing it , not any comfort , it extends to the point where we are not afraid of death ( not all of us ) . Not because our fathers did so only but because we feel it in ourselfes and hearts.@TheDevvil156,
