This is something best left for you to work out. Personally I believe each person needs the freedom to chart his own course in life. I think that course is best done without a ‘god,’ that there is no proof exists. At the same time if you are ‘searching’ for the truth, you will come to a conclusion that you need for your life. Happy searching...

Sometimes I feel religion is used on people when they are in a vulnerable place. That could be why it's taught to children when they are not smart enough to know better. Why it's the building blocks of AA. Also why they send a religious figure to your room while you're in the hospital. It's quite disturbing.

I'm in my 40's and life is so much better now without all the with ifs. Life is simple..... you don't need all that religion shit to be a decent human being.

You're getting there ... to the real truth.

contemplate a God that does not exist then, as weird as that maybe sounds; no literal old white guy with a beard, no "objective evidence" at all, the Unknown God

The gods only seem credible to me when I’m in a dangerous situation — a typhoon at sea or lightning storm in the mountains. When I’m feeling safer, they are nowhere to be found!
