Hey Tanisha, I know you’ve said your an atheist but how can you not believe in God? isn’t it sad not to have faith?

Hey darling, yeah i am an atheist and don’t believe in the existence of any gods. However i do see why others do; it can be comforting to put your faith in someone else and leave it up to another power especially when you feel powerless. I think that’s why people in times of need (natural disasters, family troubles, poverty etc) turn to ‘god’ to help them – it’s a last resort to not feeling utterly desolate.

Although i do think that inherently most people know what there is no god; it’s just a source of comfort, kind of like an adult security blanket. Sometimes i wish i believed in a god just to have someone to pray to before tests and occasionally put my life in someone else’s hands, but i just can’t bring myself to believe in something with no proof of existence.

At the same time i don’t think it means i have no faith, i do. I have faith in humanity, in nature; in what is real and in front of me. We don’t have to blindly believe in that which has no proof to have faith, we just need to have confidence in the positive traits of what does exist xxx

Finally! The perfect description as to how I feel about god!
