    I think you can have this same dilemma as an atheist as well. I’m personally agnostic as I don’t have the knowledge to make a decision.

    If we are all just atoms moving/reacting, surely everything we’d ever do would be predetermined by the initial reactions/vectors/forces at the big bang. I know there’s quantum randomness and stuff, but it’s possible that’s all calculable and we simply don’t have the means to calculate it. If that’s the case, IMO we still have freewill because we can’t predict the future, and it’s still worthwhile to move forward doing our best to be good people.

    I’m also sick of hearing people say, “God never gives you more than you can handle.”

    I know people who have been driven batshit insane by what God has given them.

    Like, did you meet a person who unironically blames satan for everything bad that’s happening to them?
