I used to believe in a higher power, then my life went to shit, I prayed, I hoped and I was almost destroyed by grief. I can't believe in something that requires me to harden myself to outside stimuli so badly that it took a decade of visiting a psychologist and a wife that loved me no matter what happened that I was able to have a somewhat normal life... at well beyond my prime.
So your life was shitty, you were in despair, you prayed and prayed and prayed, and now have happiness and bounty.
Sounds like a rock solid case for atheism.
Prayed and nearly got destroyed in the process... I was in a spot that no human ever should find themselves in. As for atheism, perhaps, but I believe there is a higher power, but not the same as what people here belief. Lets just say that we are part of much larger game that we have no right in knowing about.
On the grand scheme of things we don't even come to being a blip on that game board, we would be as a blade of grass, or a drop of dew on the grass... to think we matter, is laughable. We only assume we know the players, when in reality we don't even know the rules.
