Hello all you out there in Gaia world...this is a question that's kind of been bothering me for awhile and i hope maybe some of you can explain it to me. I am a pretty religious person but I don't force my ideals on people. Basically, if you ask about my religion I will tell you about it but I won't be like JOIN NOW JOIN NOW! I guess my question is how do you atheists live with the thought of no higher being? I am not trying to be offensive but like you don't think there is an afterlife or a higher being and to mean that kind of sounds depressing. It just seems easier for me to go through life because I truly believe that when I die I will go to Heaven and be with God. I guess the better question is how do you feel about dying? Like I said it just sounds so depressing when people are like "there is no higher being we just die." Death is not a happy thing and I know that but I don't want to worry about it and to me believing there is a higher place makes me feel better. I guess it's delusional but it makes me happy. Most of my friends that are atheist seem kinda depressed. I know that's not with all atheists but I dunno I am trying to not be offensive 'cause I have nothing against atheists. But I guess like when people question the existance of God this is my way of questioning your beliefs and trying not to piss anybody off (if I happen to piss you off I didn't mean too sweatdrop )
