That assumes that there is some kind of spiritual, or supernatural, aspect to our lives. I don't see that.
I see miracles daily. I see them everywhere. If you don't see them, ok.
I see the same things you see, but I don't see them as miracles. I have this urge, this need, to look BEHIND the curtain, and see what's really going on. Assuming something is a miracle just because it feels good doesn't work. How can you then determine whether or not something which feels bad is or is not a miracle? When a plane crashes and one person survives, people are quick to claim a miracle. But what about the 100 or more people who died? Where was their miracle? If one of those who died were from your family, would you still see it as a miracle that one person survived? No, miracles are only ordinary occurrences which haven't yet been explained. Nothing supernatural about them.
I believe you can have a life as fulfilling as one who has a belief in some form of higher power. no argument there.
Well, that puts you miles ahead of the Pope, at least. He recently equated atheists with Nazis. And most fundamentalists believe that we atheists are inherently evil, since we don't have the same moral center as they do.
who cares if i am crazy? I am not on heroin anymore for years now and i am not breaking into your house, so we both can be happy with that.
No one says you're crazy! I just believe that you would be far better off if you could recognize your own self-worth without resorting to the supernatural. As I said, you've come a long way, and I give you full credit for every painful step.
