[quote=Anonymous]In sum, Diana Nyad, an atheist, described still having a feeling of "awe" in life despite not believing in any gods. Winfrey responded that if Nyad believes in "the awe and the mystery and the wonder," that's what god is. I think spinning this as some kind of "great insult" is absurd, but as another atheist, I agree with Nyad - that if god is awe, mystery, and wonder, then everything is god - and it's all kind of a fluffy god, without the religion and rules. I don't believe in any creator or overseer, but I too find immense beauty and emotional amazement at something in the natural world, or human creation. What do you guys think? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/wp/2013/10/17/what-oprah-doesnt-get-about-atheists/[/quote]
