Fellow atheists : How do you manage to make it through each day?

Question

Does the burden of being full of evil, sin, intolerance, bigotry, psuedo-intellectualism, hatred, darkness, misanthropy, bloodlust, ignorance, and being an all-around agent for Satan not wear on you?

Answer 1

the drinking helps.

Answer 2

Uh. I go through the day just like everybody else.
I'm certainly not an agent for Satan--I just don't believe in God.
It really can just be that simple.
And bloodlust?! That's over the top. I felt sick when my friend cut herself slicing rolls the other day.

Answer 3

I always spend a few hours in the morning feeling empty and wishing I had the courage to accept wossname into my thingie.

Then I have a good cry about the meaninglessness of my life as I eat my first baby of the day.

After that I pull myself together, smarten up, and go out to do Satan's work in the community, whispering evolutionist lies to small children.

It's pointless, I know, but it fills the time until Hell.

Answer 4

I make it through just fine. I simply don't associate with people who are a burden to me, whether or not that's due to religious differences.

We don't talk about religion in the work place (and frankly I don't care if somebody wants to put a Ganesha statue on their desk, wear a little cross necklace, or wear a yarmulke -- that's their own area). I enjoy a good meal at local restaurant, come home to watch my DVDs of Penn & Teller's 'Bullsh*t' and Mr. Show, or listen to my George Carlin albums. Or I'll be working on mathematics, playing my musical instruments, recording my weekly radio show, or hitting the karaoke bar on occasion.

I'm enjoying too much of this one life of mine to constantly worry about what the Jesus freaks are up to. I guess not living in the south helps.

Answer 5

Of course NOT!

Being an Agent of Satan was all I ever aspired to and the cape is pretty sweet.

Answer 6

Somehow I survive. Perhaps it is knowing that when I do something good or charitable, it is truly a good act instead of an act contrived to convince some mythical higher being that I deserve heaven.

Answer 7

Fellow Christians (And all other religious people): How do you make it through each day?
Does the burden of being full of hypocricism, pseudo sense of being superior to otheres, thinking you have exclusive access to truth, not being able to live a independent life and being so happy about being ignorant NOT WEAR ON YOU?

Answer 8

Nah, Satan is actually a pretty fun guy. He's gathering the 250,000 people who die and are condemned to hell each day and creating an army to take over heaven. Sounds like he's got it all together! For once, I'm going to be on the winning side.

He does cheat at cards though...

Answer 9

Easily, it doesn't show on the outside, and I am a non combatant atheist mostly. Just a little bit of ontological guerrilla now and then.

Answer 10

Why bother with such people that minds that produce such hateful energy from people who have no respect for those who do not believe in their friend they talk out loud to yet I can't see or hear or feel "his divine power". Just no need we would be down on their level and helping them with their false accusations as if they if haven't already haven't made up their minds...And actually believe is the ironic part. No matter what we do we they will be holler than thou...

Answer 11

Deke: I was going to give you a scathing response, but I had a suspicion so I checked out some of your recent answers. Some of them made be laugh out loud, as did this question on second reading. So thanks for that!
