OH MY GOD I NEVER THOUGHT TINY WINGS WAS ACTUALLY ABOUTA FAT BIRD! ITS TRUE!
anyway, as an atheist i dont doubt there might have been something that eventually set in motion the creation of the universe: my idea is that whatever that was, it was an occurrance with no conscience, entity or will that by chance started the reaction that caused big bang. whther it was chemical or physical, it is not a being, or anything that can be prayed to without doing a meanigless act that only satisfies your own insecurities about existential meaning.
if you want to call that external power "god", than the chance is that god was there but then diappaeared and never came back. religion, prayer and mass are rituals that make you feel comfortable. as are beliefs in higher meanings or afterlife, but they arent rational options. religious people can say that "theres no proof of the opposite", the only proof of the non-existence of god is that that there is no proof of him being here. if he existed than hye would be indifferent, absent, cruel, petty and taking credit for stuff that men do.
spirituality is the comfortable couch for people who are scared of rational thought. i understand why you sit on it, but still its just a couch.
