What about pantheism?

However non theistic it may be, it is a reflection of the human mind that seeks to find meaning in life and nature - as if there is some greater meaning or direction towards which we are all going and what we are part of.
Is it not possible that there is none? I'd like to believe that there is no real reason or greater objective in the way nature plays out. There is no 'greater purpose'. And I am not nihilistic when I say that.

  1. Hi,
    Thanks.
    Is there any disadvantage in being a believer and any advantage in being an atheist (or vice versa) since we are all going to die. Does being atheistic increase the enjoyment derived from life (or is it the opposite)?
