I came across it while stumbling and I cant just help but agree with each and every argument you make or defend.

This particular post I enjoyed reading a lot because it explains the feelings I had at one point of time too.

When we are down and sad, or when something not in our control happens which is bad, we normally want things to become better and when we know that no God exists we find it so difficult coming to terms that they will get better because we know that either we need to do something or just wait for time to pass and forget the issues.

When my friends or parents tell me that God is there and will take care of it, it makes me even more sad because I feel even they wont be able to help now because they’ve left it to their God.

Then I wish I had their faith too because they are much stronger at that point of time just because they have that faith.

So I sometimes wonder if atheism makes us emotionally stronger or weaker..
