Sorry Ash, but I don't agree with what you said.
It was not easier to stop believing in the existence of an anthropomorphic god, which I had believed in all my life. And I don't think you require more courage to have faith - I'm an atheist not because I don't dare to believe in god, but because I can't. For me it would be like believing in fairy unicorns just because everyone else is, since I have come to the conclusion that God cannot exist, with all the evidence present in the world.
Gah. All I'm saying is that it's not about courage.

is it really not about courage? giving up control? seemingly despite everything to the contrary? it's not a matter of whether you can or cannot, or whether you dare to or not. but it is all about giving up control of everything you seemingly know to be truth, for something that requires blind faith. you can't. because you dun dare to trust blindly. you don't dare to trust blindly because to do so, it wld means losing control of your universe. The world's no longer your oyster. you would have to accept that there are greater forces at work than just your mere human will. i don't like it. i don't like losing control. who does? i don't like the fact that i can't control wad is happening to me. but at the same time, it is relieving, to give up control to sum1 else, and just....accept things as they are. =) i still don't believe that if i jump off e building right now i will be caught by the hand of God, but i do know he exists, if only in the metaphysical, invisible laws of the universe. everything happens for a reason, and i like to think that, it is His grace, that led me to appreciate life more, to mature, and to learn wad truly matters. He is the invisible hand guiding my thoughts, the invisible entity i lean on for support when I do the things I have to do. I believe in a God, which God? I don't care.
