"well i don't want to ruin your 'happiness' but I will say that all these hard times (and you will hav a lot) are faith testing, the devil will put hard tempting times to where you will question God, but its all test of faith and the devil is smiling at you becoming an Atheist and hates to see people saved: LIFE IS TOUGH, DEAL WITH IT it's not God's fault you're having a rough time, Those who stick with God through the rough will live eternally.." - some asshole on YouTubeIs it really such a shame that I choose to be my own God? Is it
really so bad that I fix all my problems myself rather than wait for 'the Lord' to fix them? I am not cruel to people who believe in their religion, nor do I try to convert them to Atheism. So why should it matter what I believe? It's not the 'devil' who is ruining this world; it's people. It's not 'God' who fixes problems; it's people. Anyone of any religion can agree with this, no? My mother even told me that if she found out I was an Atheist, she would never talk to me again. (Which is why she doesn't know. Shhhhh!)
As I responded to this 'gentleman', everything I have accomplished feels much more grand because I did it myself. Without the help of any miracles. It is
literally what gets me through the day. If I knew that all my hard work just to live was really a waste, I'd most likely choose the side of the devil. At least then when 'God' turns his back on me, I can do things on my own.
I'm not saying religion is all bad. A lot of churches help the world. Donate money to charities, teach kids, make people happy, ect. It's just not for me. And that shouldn't matter.
In other news: my anxiety is through the roof ever since I drove with the driving instructor today. And I have almost a whole week of this to go. I don't think I can do it. I honestly don't. The entire time for me was horrible. My thoughts were full of car crashes and dead people. Afterward I went to Walmart to get some Excedrin for my massive headache and almost had another panic attack. Voltaire is this Thursday and I don't want it to be ruined because I was freaking out all week. :/ Fuck I wish my mom still had muscle relaxers. Then again, I think I really
would kill everybody. XD
