Demon Erasers

Some of the worst people I've ever met in my life have been Christians.

Some of the most moral people have all been atheists.

And part of the reason why I say that is because an atheist doesn't believe that they're going to be judged for their actions.

I know what's wrong.

And I don't have to believe in the fear of hell and the reward of heaven in order to be motivated to do right towards my fellow man.

So my father was a pastor, so I definitely come from a Christian background.

I describe myself now, though, as a non-theist.

And what I mean by that is that I believe the human condition is one of uncertainty.

And I do not believe that you can conclude there is a God with certainty.

However, I also believe that you cannot conclude that there is not a God.

with certainty.

So I have...

found the most peace in life with admitting that the human condition is one of uncertainty and will always be one of uncertainty and with that i have found that i direct my energy towards living in the moment and really trying to capitalize on every second because to me it's a very real possibility that this life is all we have and

That rather than taking away from the enjoyment of life, I would say actually adds to it.

And it makes me even more appreciative to be alive.

And the other thing, too, when it comes to meaning and purpose, I can understand the appeal of wanting to believe that there is this loving and all powerful God and that you are this special creature and he's created you for a purpose and you have a plan.

I do understand why people are emotionally drawn to that.

However, I also think about well, you know, if we are primordial ooze, and I just so happen to be here, and I really am the product of a one in like 400 trillion chance that's even possible.

It also makes me unbelievably appreciative to be alive.

So that's ultimately what it comes down to is that I think intuitively I know what's right and I know what's wrong and I don't have to believe in, you know, the fear of hell and the reward of heaven in order to be motivated to do right towards my fellow man.
