Because I simply do not believe there is anything watching us. But the name of atheism is kind of fucked, considering you associate atheists with those screaming middle aged men who think god isn’t real because their life is such shit, you know? I simply just have no belief, and I don’t support a lot of things Christianity (and other religions, but Christianity is the big one) believes in. I feel like I’ve explained myself before this (like, numerous times), but if I were to say I do have religious views, it would be closer to Buddhism. I believe in rebirth and the cycle continuing, but honestly that’s about it.
If I were to eventually go to church with him (as I’ve told him), I’d go, happily, actually, and sit there in the pews and pray, but I’d simply believe it wouldn’t go anywhere. My wishes would still be genuine, just not my idea that, hey, someone’s hearing it.
Nate wasn’t that upset with it, considering we’ve known each other for a few years before we got together, but I still felt the need to explain myself. As I should, of course. He told me in exact words, “It’s not okay with my religious side, but the side that loves you says it’s okay.”
