But you are NOT insignificant! The oceans are made up of EACH & EVERY raindrop. If one considers each to be insignificant, there would be no ocean.
Nothing is insignificant to Truth.
'Beliefs' are not really important at all, for, by definition, they may be true or false. It is KNOWLEDGE (Gnosis) which IS important, for, by definition, genuine Knowledge cannot be false!

That is exactly why I am insignificant.

Nah. If I told God I didn't believe in Him He'd probably just laugh at me. Moreso than usual I mean.
DWBHism doesn't neccesarily exclude athiests though.
That is exactly why you're unique.

because my religion goes hand in hand with science. it feeds my soul and my logic.
life goes on. i dont care if you dont believe the way i do. it doesnt make any difference. what matters is what i believe not what you believe.

By that comment, it appears you belief is at the opposite end of universalism.

i'm not sure how you perceive my post but how did you came up with "opposite end of universalism"?

Any, and all, BELIEFS are totally futile. Only genuine KNOWLEDGE (Gnosis) is of any value. Yes, we are all entitled to our beliefs, and it really doesn't matter at all what we believe, for beliefs mean absolutely nothing.

All in all even more screaming elitism than John Calvin at his best.

Why was it an abyss?I already fell down that abyss once in my life, I am not going back in.

I am convinced that I exist. So after that my next question was; Why do I exists?
When I started to strip away the "whys" I realize how insignificant that I am (can get very depressing).
Question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question after question...... (the abyss)
"Why do I exist?" It took a long time but I did find an answer.

But that's the irony of atheism, life without the infinte is finite and meaningless. So, why don't you believe in God?

Because I asked to many whys(sp?) and now I can't go back.
