about my supposed atheism:
I suppose atheist will fit pretty well to me but I don't even think I'm an atheist it's not that I deny the knowledge in the sacred books of religions but is not that I believe to just one or any concrete set of dogmas. I can agree and disagree on some points without having to deny any religion or accept it totally and finally I just feel much more searching than knowing 'the truth' or accepting 'a truth' so I can't considere me like a 'beliver' but not also like a totally atheist.

Wow.....do you always look at things in a scientific perspective? These views seem very pessimistic. I understand your points and they could very well be relevant and true, but if most people thought of their existence in that manner, don't you think life would be bland and dark? How do you value your existence? Do you believe in any religion, or are you atheist? I mean everything I say in a friendly manner so don't take offense.

I'm just curious because you seem like a smart guy.
Does the knowledge that you're going to die one day make your life bland and dark? I don't let that spoil mine, nor does the knowledge that this world will end someday.
I would even say that knowing the ephemerality of things makes you appreciate them even more. Everything is temporary in the world we can experience and willing to deny it is just going against nature, sooner or later you'll face the untemporality of things and then you'll be unhappy if you haven't accept it. Indeed as much in tune you are with nature and the natural flow of things the less you could be deceived by life and the easy you'll be happy and feel soulful just with the little details of life that are just everywhere. Let's say you don't expect anything about life but you just enjoy the bright in it that's everywhere and everytime, you just have to open your eyes and enjoy the moment, not expect the beauty come to you but just look at it and see it everywhere, there's so much 'poetry' everywhere, life spings everywhere if you are willing to look at it. I even think that willing to exist infinitely is just a coward and egoistic view, just be happy with your existence and let other lifes spring an die, it's just the natural cycle of life, what's wrong about it?
About religions there are some of them who rot on the scientific side of the things so that demostrate you that some human beings in search for soul food have find in science a true source of it. The same goes with saviour men through humanity history, if you take a look at them they were searching the truth no only trough religion, but also through science.
I think religions could be a good source of 'sipirituality' if you know how interpret them. On another side I don't believe in beliving in religions like a dogma, I know it works for some persons but my questions about life surpased them long time ago and then I realized you have to build up your own believes based on what you learn through living (experiencing) not just assuming a bunch of dogmas wrote in some 'sacred' books that are supposed to be 'the truth'. There's no benefit on beliving or finding but in searching.
I can say it another way, I don't think there's any magic in life, I think the unique magic in life can be brought by ourselfs, so we can make beautiful our lifes with magic like if we were decorating a living room, puting some nice courtains, a nice carpet, etcetera.. it all depens on what each one feels/perceives like beauty. So belivieng we are just a bunch of meat (matter) moved by some energy in a evoluted specie organic structure which feels just came from chemical reactions doesn't means you cannot enjoy it. I have dream, that's being happy making other people happy, feeding my happiness with other people happiness and accepting the nature of things. I will try to enjoy life as much as I can and I know I have to do it through others not just me (that's something I've learnt through experience) so I'll try to be as magical and spritualful to others so I can enjoy of their magic also. Then if I can I'll try to transmit this willings to people around me and who knows maybe to some blood related descendence, then some people will keep my message for a while and if I'm lucky enough maybe it could be transmited through generations or just make a little impact in a temporary space and time, I'm happy enough with this, I'd try to do my bests, I'll fight and enjoy and then I just will leave and the next generations will have to deal with their own things. There not really any need to have a 'faith' but a dream to just keep you inspired about life.
And some day the specie as we know of human specie, and the world we know as earth it just will dissaper. It has did it before and will do it again. Just enjoy your little bite of life.
