This is the first post in a series in which I intend to explain, philosophize, argue, and even convince myself of a new approach in my own personal life regarding my lack of religious faith. For nearly two years now I’ve been an out atheist and as a result of a very painful process…
It is often said by believers of all faiths that to be without God is to be without a thing called Hope. Hope, defined as the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best, is far from foreign to me. I’d even go so far as…
