To cut to the chase "bullshit"

I am an atheist. I am without god. I respect no external judgement upon me.

Am I pure? Have I fallen victim to the seduction of mammon and the innumerable trinkets of existence - of course I have, and accept I will until the day I die.

Do I worship myself and take excessive pride in my self-stated virtues - clearly I do, as you can see if you've read this far.

But outside of my petty rhetoric, I know I came from nothing and at the end of my life-span I will return from whence I came.

I find this comforting.

There's no game to win, no test to pass, no heaven to enter - just a feeling of solidarity with those I share my temporal-blip-in-the-light with.
