I was kinda of pissed off at first, thinking there was still a god, but an idiot one, or possibly a malicious one.
It was clear to me that there either was no god, or if there was, he had no idea we were even around and wasn't playing an active part in the game (so to speak.) In other words, if there was a God, he'd started things up and then left the building. Once I got that settled, and came to grips with it, I realized that, for all intents and purposes, they were the samething; No god.
Now I'm a happy atheist, or at least only angry at the silly (and sometimes maliciously stupid) people who insist on believing in one. And who believe that they are somehow more moral than I, although they (supposedly) try to do the right thing out of fear of being caught and punished, while I try to do it because I choose to.
