So happiness is "being aware of oneself in the present moment?" Or playing sports and having sex, and noticing how you feel when you do these things? Sounds pretty selfish to me. If this is really happiness how could there be room for anything difficult or rewarding in the future; how can there be room for how others feel or charity? To me this is yet another example of how atheism and self absorption are inseperably connected.

But don't we all have a natural intuition to know right and wrong? I don't understand why all religion must be bad becuase of periphreal confusions. Here's an example. Man reads something he disagrees with in the bible, so he decides it must be ALL wrong so then he goes about cheating on his wife, stealing from his friends? Let's just all try to find as much truth as possible, if we nuture our natural intuition of right and wrong, this world would be much happier.
