If I truly believed that there was no God, then there would be no purpose behind living at all. If nothing created us then there is no such thing as right or wrong, there is no such thing as love or hate. If there is no human soul, then emotions are nothing more than a series of random, unreasonable neural transmissions with no real weight or relevance attached to their existance. If we weren't created by something, then we are an accident. If we are an accident, then there's no reason why I shouldn't stop typing right this second and delete the most annoying accidents I've encountered recently.

So, does that mean that if we create something, whether it be a child, or merely a piece of art, that we are their God? Just because something created us, doesn't mean that is the only reason we love and hate, or have feelings about what is right and wrong. It means that we are here for a reason, for someone had a vision of something great, or for all we know, a vision for destruction, violence, and something that is above and beyond anything we have even thought of yet.
While I agree that a God exists, and also that if we were created by an accident, then there is no real base for our existence, I don't necessarily feel that because there is a God, that is the only reason our mental processes and behavior act the ways they do. I like to feel as though I matter in the world, whether or not my parents
meant to have me. I like to feel as though
I'm in control of how I shape my life, and how my future will turn out. I guess I'm trying to say that even if there isn't a higher being that made all this possible, and we
actually are an
accident, that what happens on Earth still matters.
