RE: From Believer to Atheist (My personal journey and my problems with organised religion)

You may well be right. I think as part of our evolution of larger brains that allow us to contemplate our own death we have developed the need to counteract that with a belief in some form of greater order or purpose to the universe which also includes the possibility of life after death. That doesn't make it real though.

Sort:  

Precisely, thinking about that does not make it real. Feelings about something can't change the harsh reality of the universe.
