This
religion is my no means a matter of
laziness. It's solely based on no longer caring for whatever
reason. I have been an
apatheist for years now, yet I only recently realized what I really was.
I became
enlightened while probably either sitting on a
bus or a
toilet (my times of intensely deep and undirected
thought). I was
staring at
nothing; the window attempted to
prevent that by showing everything.
All of a sudden my eyes focused (as they do), and I was
aware.
I could not, even if I tried, give a half a fuck about religion.
So, I thought about my
revelation. I wondered why I
argue atheism so much if I really didn't care. My
conclusion was somewhere along the lines of my wanting other people to not care as well. We all (
I hope) have more important things to do besides
ponder the
origin of our very
existence...
Right.
No.
I argue for atheism because
apatheism, at least for me,
is atheism. That is, it is
atheism past the point of caring to change others' views. I really no longer
care what everyone believes in. It really doesn't matter unless it comes up.
If it does come up, I
contribute my
1/50th of a
dollar, and I move on. Other
alternatives for moving on can be changing that person's view of
religion and life, coming to a new
point of realization based upon their views, or getting all
pissed off (which I just don't do anymore).
Man, I hate people, but I love people.
Opinions are the spice and death of life.
