In this sense, the notion of “God does not exist” becomes much more powerful because if God has no power over us then nothing is predetermined or predetermined by any outside force; instead human nature must be defined by ourselves based on how each individual chooses to live his or her life – free from any external influences . It follows then that with freedom from religion comes freedom from morality – specifically if there no higher power providing moral guidance then everyone responsible own actions consequences thereof leading oft-quoted adage: “everything permitted”!

Existentialism both empowering burdensome terrifying depending perspective looking at ; while certain aspects such autonomy make feel liberated other aspects lack structure/meaning same time can become overwhelming particularly those unaccustomed having make decisions without definitive set rules following (e.g., God). Personally I don\’t necessarily identify myself as an existentialist but appreciate fact individuals given opportunity choose their own paths even though might not always know ultimate outcome will be; ultimately think best way approach life taking risks making mistakes learning grow becoming better person along way regardless eventual destination – this hope eventually find peace happiness whatever journey entails!
