My Atheist Journey

2023-10-12 18:31:39

The best way to understand why atheism is so important to me is to start with a little background. When I grow up I still live in Texas, and other Texas people often refer to it as a religious part of Texas. So my experience is also affected by my environment. I do not want to pay much attention to cultural beliefs, but I really want to point out. For example, people I know know rarely to accept evolutionism and big bangs, but scientific theories that are not creative are considered to be mainly the notorious "mere theory" theory.

When I was studying at Columbia University, I continued my journey as an atheist, where I attended a speech by Salman Rushdie. I often feel uneasy when religious people cry out Mike on the subway and distribute brochures to change other people into their religious beliefs. It was only to fill out the form that made me so excited. My question and learning journey continued, and I became a religious "not a philosopher" person. The topic of religion is important to others, but it is not important to me. I have not dealt with religious problems by studying at university, living alone in New York, and building relationships with those who share similar ambitions, which is not a problem for me.

As an atheist, I understand the journey and the way of atheists. I meant that being angry at Christianity and becoming homosexual did not believe in God. I was involved in Buddhism because I was a supercharged Flash programmer with overwork to understand and manage my stress. Although it is a sweet performance, the deadline is a blind man, but I learned how to meditate through Buddhism. Since I did not believe in God at that time, I refused more mysterious Buddhism. I am not interested in fairy tales. But I am interested in the therapeutic benefits of a quiet mind.

For a long time, I could not find a philosophy that praises my atheistic life, lasts in the dark, holds the rails firmly, and hopes to find the truth. Without philosophy, atheists tend to be silent in my experience. Atheism is lonely. That is why it is hoped that so many new atheists will form communities and rekindle the magic of some religious communities. It never agrees. I decided to choose Asian philosophy because I can not resonate with my personal lifestyle, community, or ethics in Western philosophy. I have decided to study Buddhism.
