I've come to that conclusion, I guess it could be an atheist view, but I don't really consider myself a full-blown atheist because I can't finalize the conclusion 'there is no God'.
I come across so many people who are so paranoid and afraid of what they do in this life and what will happen to them after death. I'm well-aware there are consequences for actions, and I know this life is the only guarantee I know is certain. It feels good to help people appreciate life just by having experiences with them.
I hang out with everyone, and questions of faith, God, etc, are brought up solely for the amusement and enjoyment of conversation. I don't feel I'm evil that should feel guilty nor do I feel I'm worthy of this great awesome paradise simply because I don't really know if it's that simple to comprehend.
If I'm existent due to pure accident, I'm happy. If I'm a descendent of species I evolved from? Cool.
I guess I'm just happy to be alive, I don't feel its a bad thing

I am agnostic, but i didn't want to come out and say it since people make pre-judgements right there and then not reading thereafter

You are in the majority. But is that good?
Why are enjoying life and monotheism considered mutually exclusive? Sad.

You're correct when you say that "nor do I feel I'm worthy of this great awesome paradise simply because I don't really know if it's that simple to comprehend."
The whole mankind is in your unconfortable situation: some make up their mind convincing themselves that God doesn't exist, and some other search and find God.
You'll never be able to "deserve" paradise, because it is a gift.
Unfortunately, everybody sins and deserve hell, but Jesus loved you so much that decided to come here one day and pay your sins in your stead.
He died, went to Hades, and then rose.
If you believe in Him and accept Him as your Saviour and Lord,
by asking God for forgiveness for your sins, there wil be nothing more that still condemn you: you're free, and granted access to heaven, when you're time will come.

I don't think that's weird at all. I grew up in a christian home and went to all christian schools but I don't consider myself religious. I think I'm more spiritual. I think there is a God but then again I'm not sure. What I do know is We all have to be here for a reason because why on earth would we just one day be here on earth and then have life taken away. I guess they just has to be a purpose for all of our existents.

You're an Agnostic, and no it's not weird at all. Some people need hope of an afterlife to make them happy and give them purpose. Others view on life is it is what you make it. You are a strong person, live well!

This paradise? Sorry but this life is not paradise! This life is temporary-- think of this way, would you rather spend a few hours in sin than an eternity in Heaven with the Lord where there is NO pain, NO sadness, NO evil, all good, JOY every second--something we cannot imagine! This life is like a few hours compared to the eternity we spend after this life...and there are only two places one will go, heaven or hell. Even if you do not believe that- are you sure you are willing to risk that? What if you died today? And faced God? Knowing full well, everyone who tried to warn you and tell you about God and His salvation in Jesus Christ, was right? What would you say? It would be too late. That is why I share the gospel, and tell others about the truth of Jesus- and how there is nothing more important than your eternal salvation in Him.....because we could die anyday- and it would be too late. I know I believe in Him, because He has revealed the truth to me, and he has convicted me and softened my heart--opening my eyes to His wonderful truth more everyday- it makes more sense everyday! And I care about others, I want them to know the seriousness of sin, and the lovingkindness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He did not have to die in our place, but He did! What an awesome God we have!
-And what Randy said- AMEN! I have no fear in death because I know I covered and have the promise of eternal life in Heaven!

As you say that life is a precious & we must enjoy each & every movement, I agree with ur concept. We have to love all & serve all to share our heart & time We are running in the race where every one will put their atmost effort to win the goal. So we will meet different type of friends on the way, take the best friend & run faster. Every moment is a trouble if we take it in that way, If u think its a sweet one even though its a trouble it will not stay with us thinking we celebrate all the events (trouble or sewwt memory ) God is the creater of morning, evening & night like wise he is the creater of right things that happens to us. So lets pray to god to provide us with least good things that can be given to us.

there is nothing wrong with your opinion. there is a religeon that qualifies exactly (and nothing less) to your thoughts. It is called neutralism. you are not 100% athiest, but you still question the idea of gods. I myself am a neutralist and I will make a page on my website for this reason. just keep checking up on it until the link appears. it's name is www.geocities.com/foxycasia.(just copy and paste the name, its a lot quicker!)

In my job, I get asked this all the time.
I can only say to you....you have not got to that place, where you have a emptiness inside.
When you do! maybe you will ask how to fill it.
Or even how did all this come about.....for now your just asking simple things.Simple Simple things.

if you dont understand evolution you might as well call yourself a creationist - you seem like a fairly ignorant agnostic. Investigate matters and think for yourself and you'll arrive at a more fully formed opinion.
Oh and btw, implying evolution involved chance and saying 'pure accident'... well it makes me want to smack you in the face. Before you start saying you dont believe in evolution maybe you should go learn what it is.

How can you enjoy every moment if you think that you could die at any moment and pass away into nothing?
I can enjoy every moment because I know that God has me covered no matter what.
