Why Atheism?

I'm an Atheist and people around me can't seem to grasp the reason behind it! Being an atheist does not mean I don't believe in an higher order. It simply means I refuse to define that Higher Order in mere terms of stone statues. I believe in something much more practical, sophisticated but delicate and yet at times vicious. My faith is reserved for someone or something called Nature that made my existence possible. I chose to believe in nature rather than a God maybe because it is much more logical or maybe because I'm terrified of someone out there who can control my calling or future or destiny or fate.

How hard is this reason to not understand or accept?

If you are an atheist, I would love to know your reason for choosing Agnosticism..

What is our Purpose?

The question "How are we any different from an ape or even an amoeba when all we seem to properly can do is reproduce just like them?" The only difference we successfully have established thus far after 85 million years of evolution is E=MC square and that we don't fling poop to eliminate competition while impressing the alpha! Something I'm sure our evolutionary predecessors couldn't understand. Then again, Is It that Big of An Evolutionary Feat? The purpose of this post is that I've failed to find a purpose. A purpose for our superiority and our genius, a purpose for our existence, a purpose other than surviving, a purpose for 8 Billion of us! It was terrifying when it finally dawned that I was not only different from every other human being but also I was no different from all those plants and animals. Oh, well! I am a little different because all those animals and plants "without conscience and inferior to us" lived Symbiotically when all I am is Parasitic.. 

Would that mean our purpose is no different that of a leech's? 

What Audre Lorde would think were she spawned in 21st century!

        So, while everyone is busy keeping tracks of all kinds of public figures nominating or accepting the Ice Bucket Challenge, I came across an Open Letter written almost 30 years ago by Audre Lorde to Mary Dale, which made me realize of a rather upsetting scenario which revolves around 21st century women who, ever so loosely & lightly, use words likes sexism and feminism & might I be so bold to add "superficially victimizing themselves to such gender discrimination.
        
          It has only made me more skeptical towards the "so-called superiority of women over men" because it just basically hints that maybe we have forgotten the seriousness revolving around gender discrimination. To think, that maybe we are tainting the works of all the brave women of past who not only battled patriarchy alongside racialism but also managed to paint their "her-story" so gaudily that turned the skittish hearts into audacious lionesses! There are women out there in today's such Developed times that are misunderstood, abused, raped (maritally even), sold, trafficked & we, so leniently have settled to re-define feminism as "Males asking us to prepare sandwiches on account of women inheriting superior cooking abilities".

*In a nutshell: Maybe it's about time we stop airily accusing every breathing being with male genitals of being biased & turn our resources towards truly exploring and understanding the power of our complex anatomy, both physically as well as psychologically.

PS. The article is more of a target specific drug rather than a dose of aggressive broad spectrum antibiotics.
I also am most definitely not an Ice bucket challenge hater nor do I compare myself to Audre Lorde.
