So you don’t believe in God (Psalm 14:1)? Does that mean you are a materialist then?
I used to believe that malarkey but it made me so miserable and grumpy.
I thought about it and realised that if everything I do is programmed by hidden physical stuff then murdering my wife and kids is not my fault and even plotting to kill them is not my fault.
Both my thoughts and my actions are beyond my control.
What a nightmare for my family!
