here is a moving lament of someone who has given up their search for God, who refuses to pray any longer and who raises his hands inisistently against god. it is Nietzsche, who set out to kill God and put man in his place, he says: "You will never pray again, never adore again, never again rest in endless trust. you do not permit yourself to stop before any ultimate wisdom, ultimate goodness, ultimate power, while harnessing your thoughts you have no perpetual guardian and friend, for your 7 solitudes. You live without a view of mountains with snow on their peaks and fire in their hearts, there is no avenger for you any more nor any final improver. There is no longer any reason in what happens, no love in what will happen to you, No resting place is open any longer to your heart, where it only needs to find and no longer seek, you resist any ultimate peace.... Who will give you strenght for that?" here is an Atheist talking, now tell me how you atheists are happier & enjoy freedom?
