I can’t speak for the Miss but I am very uncomfortable with atheism. Technically I’m an agnostic but disbelief is disbelief. The main problem with a godless universe is that you are left without justice. Mankind has had millennia to figure out how to remove its own corruption and we have made ZERO progress. Even Christian societies and empires failed miserably. This is why I am not an anti-theist. I don’t give a damn about what Ayn Rand and other atheist philosophers call “loyalty to reason” or the “morality of pure reason”. There is no justice in this would. Therefore, God MUST exist even if he certainly doesn’t.
Despite this stance, I don’t know how to escape the position that I’m in. I’ve been trying to believe for years and I’ve found absolutely nothing that could convince my mind. Mere feelings of “God’s presence” would not be enough since my mind would quickly dismiss their validity. The reason why I don’t dismiss the possibility of God is that it is very difficult for anyone to imagine supernatural evidence that can be totally distinguished from natural evidence. Even the resurrection of dead humans, as fantastic as it would seem, could still be regarded by a skeptic as a super-rare natural phenomenon. Likewise, how are we to demonstrate that all known natural phenomena are indeed natural and not supernatural? This is why I am an agnostic and not a positive atheist. I’m not certain that supernatural things don’t exist but I can’t confirm them either.
That’s exactly why I am comfortable being an atheist. No one promised me justice...you get that on earth if you get it at all.
