Life does not need a divine source in order to be meaningful. Anyone who has seen a breathtaking sunset or fallen in love with another human being knows that we make meaning from the experiences of our lives; we construct it the way we construct any social narrative. Free from false expectations we are free to create purpose, share love, and enjoy the endless beauty of our world. We are the fortunate ones. There is no need for fear to have the last word. I have pondered this myself...is religion required to have a worthwhile life? Is morality only something that exists because of god and religion? Please note that this article was written by a former pastor who took a year to question his beliefs, and ultimately became an atheist.
