My greatest 'atheist sin' is a lingering feeling that there might be something special about 'life', as in an 'energy' that we do not yet understand.  I realize that for people who are very well versed in the natural sciences this might seem like mere superstition, but I'm much more into math/physics and have never been able to keep up with all the nomenclature in biology so my knowledge is weak there.

 

I continue to cling to the idea that perhaps one day we'll discover some discreet facet of quantum mechanics (discreet even by the standards of quantum mechanics) that presents us with evidence of some 'life force' behind consciousness.

I can :P

But as Heather hinted at... Biology and nature have always been at the forefront of my life experience. I am totally naturalistic in that regard :)

Science does not prove me wrong on this 'feeling' of mine, but there is simply no basis for this feeling other than superstition.  I feel that all superstition should be removed, otherwise we leave ourselves open to being unnecessarily biased.  I let this little superstition exist but I keep it in a tight little corner at the back of my mind.

Heather, if that is a sin, then I am guilty of that one too.

As an almost lifelong Atheist, I am damn near 'sinless' - now, since I retired 23 years ago. I've been highly active, shouting from the housetops & in newspapers, my fervent dis-belief. I have picketed churches, the state Capitol. the White house, Congress & the Supreme Court. Virtually all my friends are Atheists, cultivated over the years. I leave Atheist literature & Atheist publications at the VA hospital on every visit. Come to think of it, I'm a goddam SAINT, when it comes to godlessness.

Oh my Lord!  I've been so goddamned careless;  Jesus, what a blunder!  Holy Moses!  I pray this doesn't continue.  I guess I'll just have to have faith that it won't, for heaven's sake.
