Yeah, but this leaves you more open to being open to the vast array in what might be others experience in ways you can’t fathom. This worlds a grand puzzle full of people doing things who think differently making and forming their own meanings. One cog in an orderless self rearranging machine.
The real important question: Who cares if you exist or not? It doesn’t really matter.
You’re on the ride, ride it. If you don’t like the current ride, find a pathway to a different one.
I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...
This is really great. I too try to give sacred places as much respect as I can, simply because I know that matters a lot to folks and helps keep the peace. Atheists could gain a lot from the concept of sacred ground and regular communing, even if not from the same obligation.
