am an athiest.. It gives me so much more strenght.. everything happens in this world coz of a reason and the reson may never be god..
"god helps those who help themselves" I have found this so true.. it always works.. but if you think deeper it means there is no god.. its you who helps yourself..
God is a concept that feels good.. its a feel good factor for us all.. give us comfort that we are not alone.. I thought when i turn to athiesm ill be a worse human being.. but today if i do good for some1 its not coz i think god will make my life better.. the motive of the help is to make the person feel better.. i realize i may never be rewarded for it.. i just find it a more noble intention to do good..
if every good you do is to get a place in heaven.. i feel you are doing good out of a selfish motive.. just my thoughts.. im open to any critisism.. but would emplore you to give it a thought before you say anything..
