I have found I have less pressure in my life not believing in a God because I don't have to live defending something that cannot be defended and makes not much sense.
Yes I agree, however a friend said to me the other day that I should believe in something, no matter what IT was as to give me purpose etc...
I think im dense or just too fluffy because I just dont have any feeling for religion but cant think of anything else..(if that makes sense). Same friend (work colleague) who's in her 50's says she has been having these weird thoughts that wake her up and feel like a panic attack but its about dying, about her dying.
I dont have these thoughts but I do lie awake and worry about the bad stuff in the world. I start to say to my self (im usually in bed and trying to drift off) i wonder how many people are hungry,being murdered, raped, abused etc...It upsets me so much sometimes I have tears running down my face. I have spoken to people who say they havent experienced this nor know of anyone who has.
I dont know why, maybe its my worry for my children growing into a world full of violence and hate and greed etc.
opps I went on abit there soz Rj x
