i do not need to believe that there is something bigger than myself in order to make my existance feel worth while. the fact that i am alive and capable of considering this fact is plenty for me. this makes people nervous because in essence, i am making myself my own god. i blame myself if something goes wrong, i praise myself if my life goes well. i do not need to live for someone else in the hopes that they will approve of my life and give me something better when i die. life is enough of a challenge and i chose to live it for myself, because i can only answer to myself when im on my death bed. and i want to be able to say, i took as much as i could out of this existance, i did it all for myself and i am fulfilled. i will be able to die happy, knowing that that is the end, and nothing awaits me but a tottal rest that i earned from living hard. yes, i am tottaly selfish. i live for myself, not a god, or person, or an idea, nothing else.

How do you know that nothing awaits you but a "total rest"? How do you know? what if you are wrong? What if you have to stand before God and give an account of your selfish life? Have you ever really considered what the bible teaches about God? It says that after death comes judgment!!

I am a Christian and I know without a shadow of a doubt there is a God. He is very real and loves ppl like u who deny Him! Think of it this way: If you are right then Im OK but if Im right then you are in trouble. B/c there is a hell and it is a very real place...those who deny Christ will go there when they die if they dont accept Him!

Answering your initial question, how that makes me feel...is sad. I disagree with you. We can do all those things you said and still believe in God. But you know what? It's your opinion and you didn't ask what I think of it, just how I feel.
Good luck.

I feel sorry for you. what a lot of responsibility you are taking on your own shoulders. how sad you don't even know who sad it is to live without God

you could live a good life now, but is it worth it to throw away your eternal life in Heaven?

nice rant. try reading some nietzsche. its fine. even IF there were a god, i'm sure it would be big enough to respect your scepticism. now go hug your mirror. (har. good one!)
