Why should godlessness impose you to behave violently? You can love God and kill, look at the genocides and religiously justified wars.

What makes you feel as if you should kill and shouldn't care? Is this a reflection of your own moral beliefs?

I'm an atheist and I have never had god in my life. I don't feel that one needs religion to have hope or purpose. You can be a good person who is happy without religion.

But I do know that for some, religion plays an important role in their lives. Has religion always been important to you?

I don't understand exactly what you were saying. do you mean that you feel someone should kill you? or that you want to kill other people?

I think that you DO care. But the emotions that you are feeling are just so extremely INTENSE that they are too much to handle and so you shut down to protect yourself.

Do you have someone to talk to?
If religion is a big part of your life, perhaps you could speak to a religious leader to help restore your faith.
Or if you really are losing your religion, look to helping others in need, to find purpose and meaning.

Don't give up..... on life....... or yourself.

I am a christian and I can relate. Sometimes I feel bitter and mad at him when I caused most of my problems. I just pray that everyday is a good day and if its not I freak out and blame God. Its sounds silly but that is how I react and I don't give God an opportunity to exercise my faith.
