Question
Question for all atheists or agnostic people...?
I am curious to know this, as I have never really known a serious atheist or agnostic believer.
Answer
I would like to answer your questions, although, I am not Atheist, or Agnostic. I am Wiccan. I will try to answer on a non biased view point. Question one...If you are refering to quotdoing goodquot as in not causing others pain, and living a basicly happy life..well, if you are a basicly decent human being, you will live by the Ten Commandments that Christians follow. Its not a hard thing to do when you really think about it. You dont have to believe in God..the Christian one or otherwise to you shouldnt kill. The same is, I believe, true for an Agnostic. brQuestion two....I believe that the people who love usparents, children, lovers, friends..etc. are what keep us going when things are bad. I know when I have a bad day, and I think things cant get worse...all I have to do is see my children smile, and hear my fiance tell me that he loves me, and all of the sudden, things arent so bad. I want to live day to day just to hear the innocent laughter of my daughter, or the newest slang my teen son comes home with, or the beautiful bright eyes of my youngest daughter. Before my fiance, and two daughters, it was only my son and me. Everyone would ask me why I didnt let my mother raise him since I had such a hard time putting a roof over his head or food in his tummy. When he would hold on to me, and say quotMomma, I love you!quot, I would just try that much harder...just so I never had to see disappointment in thoes beautiful brown eyes. brQuestion three..I precieve my life as beautiful, fulfilling, busy, passionate, as exciting, as well as hard sometimes. Dont we all? I have EXTREMELY WONDERFUL reasons for living, and none of them require believing in a God, Christian or otherwise. None of my reasons require me to believe in heaven or hell. My reasons are right here with me. My reasons laugh, smile, and say they love me every single day. My reasons, think Im a hero, just because I take care of them. brSo, I am Wiccan, so, sure, I believe in many different Gods and Goddesses. I dont believe that how you live here on earth is going to somehow determine what happens when you die. So long as I am loved, and am able to love, that will be my reason to be a good person, it will be my shelter in the storms. brI hope that gives you something to ponder for the better. Good luck in your search for enlightenment!
