how do atheists explain this?

[Illuminaughty]

I changed my icon to atheist. I feel like a poser though cuz all atheists I see online are super educated and half the words they use I have no idea what they mean. I'm on mental disability for my illness and I feel like ten times a loser now cuz at least as a christian I thought my life had meaning, but now I'm just useless

You're not a loser. We are all thrown into this world with more questions than answers. Just be honest with yourself and do the best you can. Look, investigate, examine, live, meditate, act compassionately and keep up your search. It's ok that you don't have all the answers right now.

I wish you luck in finding meaning in your life.

"What does one (or a few) showmen have to do with whether or not there is a God?" The answer is found below.

ans: Nothing.

Yeah, just because you run into a fraud who believes / pretends to believe in God doesn't in and of itself imply that there is no God.

What are some tips u guys have for being happy as an atheist?

Do u believe in fate?

There's no reason at all to be upset, the world is still the same place. You still love the same people, the same people still love you, you still have the same goals in your life, etc.

Your life has meaning because you give it meaning. Your experiences and dreams, your friends and family, that's what makes life meaningful. You still have that just as much as when you were religious.

In fact, it's a far more meaningful existence than a handpicked "meaning" you had no control over chosen by an overbearing deity for his own means. You are free to live your life and experience it as you wish. Do it well, and try to make the world a better place for everyone in it.

When I came to Jesus Christ, I was healed from anxiety, fear of darkness (I used to have the light on while sleeping, sometimes even TV too) and sleep disorder (used to take medication for sleeping issues).

I also believe I was healed from Asperger's syndrome.

My mum also told me the doctors didn't find these genes in me anymore when they took blood samples or such.

Were you clinically diagnosed with Asperger's?

As for anxiety and sleep problems, based on your age you are still a teenager. Your hormones are changing fairly rapidly and you can expect some behavioural shifts. I'd say biology is a far more likely explanation than Jesus is.
