Topic: Atheists/agnostics, do you feel afraid or fear that what if you are wrong? (Read 328 times)

I was once a firm believer in God.

I just thought it made sense to believe in a God who's all powerful, all knowing, and I thought that's the only way the universe began, by the creation of God.

I was a believer not blindly, but, by choice. Because, my logic said that there is a God.

It's my same reasoning that has turned me into an agnostic today.

When I question, why was the universe so unorganized? Why did God create that piece of black holes thousands of light years away if his focus was on human beings, why would a God be so selfish that he wants eternal praise, what was God doing before creating everything and does God doesn't know something which he doesn't know?

I got the only answer, "you are human and can't understand God as he's beyond logic".

Hence, my weird questions got no satisfaction.

Today, I believe that the universe is itself eternal. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed and needs no God to create it.

However, I'm open to the idea of big bang as well as maybe, a powerful force (which can be called God) created it.

But I don't know, I can just believe. I can never know.

But since I was believer before, one of my part sometimes call me back saying you are wrong. You are on wrong path and just don't want to believe by your own choice. You will be I'm hell for it. And I get scared.

What's your opinion on it? Do you get this feeling too, how do you cope with it?

But agnostics and atheists have to hide their inner feelings in for atheists already claimed that they believe for certain that God doesn't exist. However, many who were once a religious person might have similar experiences like me where part of our former self tries to call us back.

Why around? How about in and out or up and down, etc? You simply like poetry.

Pick what force you want to go around.

One with your eyes open, willingly.
One with your eyes closed, forced to.

I do.

Actually, nobody knows that matter and/or antimatter always existed. We don't even know that the nothingness of empty space always existed.

As a Matter of Fact Matter always existed and was there before Anti Matter, but both matter. We all matter.
^ I know the start of this sounds like a oxymoron but you will get it in time.

^^^ Okay. So you enjoy poetry.    

@ OP.

But we don't know that black holes are what scientists say they are.

Big Bang Theory actually destroys itself, because, like the BB was extremely different, so was the math and physics that supposedly made it. This means that we can't use our math and physics to suggest that BB existed.

The universe still operates like a machine. Nobody knows how the machinery of the universe operates. Consider how many mistakes meteorologists make trying to predict the weather. Why does not knowing make you drop your faith in God? It would burn your brain out to make you understand how the machinery works.

But, God exists. Machines have makers.
