I am at an accepting stage that not everything that happens in your life is in your control. When things goes really bad and you dont have much control on it, I would assume a person who believes in god or religious figures has their belief system as a coping mechanism. For example praying to the god and so on.
I passed that stage where you believe a single entity has a complete control of each and everything happens in this entire universe. So falling back to god and thinking it is all according to the plan and he will find out some solution is not really an option for me. At the sametime I also acknowlede that there are some gray areas where science can’t provide a logical explanation so as to why this is happening to some of the life events.
So to atheists of lemmy, how do you cope up with shits that happens in your life that you can’t explain logically and you really don’t have much control?
We atheists are quite capable of talking to imaginary friends too. We just have no delusions that they’re real.
I know I’ve asked for more than a few things to please work out. Couldn’t tell you who I was asking though.
So true, when things get tough I kneel in front of my poster of Sephiroth and mumble incoherently about the Lifestream.
Works as well as when I used to pray tbh.
