Ignác Lepp- Atheism

Ignac Lepp talks about his mood before his conversion. My soul was just a name to denote a set of mental abilities of a person. I was young, healthy; life saw me attractive, why ask about such nonsense as what will happen after death. Lepp later changed his mind. Ivan Fiodorovič, in the Karamazov brothers, says: Destroy the belief in immortality in humanity, and immediately love will dry up in it. Then everything will be allowed, and nothing will be immoral.
Among us are the sighted and the blind. The sighted, and the blind can be done. Someone stands full of enthusiasm at the beautiful image. The other looks at the man and makes fun of his spirit. Therefore, we declare everything to be relative. We say the script to be illusory only because illiteracy is ridiculed from the letters as a stupid fabrication of witchcraft. Even though my neighbor laughs and says it’s crazy cracking to appreciate Beethoven, I don’t see more than he does. The objective conditions are the same. We both have eyes and ears, and yet our participation and our conclusion are different.
The neighbor does not recognize music as a reality. At the same time, it does not have to be a physical deficiency, a human deficiency: insufficient culture, character traits. Choice also applies to our knowledge. We know something more willing, others less inclined. We can either be indifferent to a certain kind of research and knowledge or feel direct opposition. If I want to know something, I have to meet certain conditions. Be diligent, honest, attentive. After expertise, consequences must be drawn if knowledge is to be a real force for life. This also applies to the understanding of God. Why is the thought of God so far away? Why are we so hard to convince God? More profound knowledge of things encounters difficulties in our country, and we come to it only through effort, whether in science or philosophy. In addition, our thinking is often in the grip of our overly personal interests and inclinations. Some think and talk about sports, others about growing wheat, physics, or sewing clothes. What we like, we like to think about it. Our passions and inclinations also tell us a lot about our interests and preferences. Therefore, some people do not have the idea of ​​God in their heads.
Above all, one must be willing to ask questions, as is the case with life and its mission. Then the interest and willingness to uncover the truth awakens. In seeking the truth, one must remain honest and without prejudice. Prejudices prevent us from seeing clearly and knowing the truth. It is true that from the immeasurable and multifaceted wealth of the world, we see above all what we want to see and what fits into our ready-made opinions and interests. Not only believers must want to be believers. An atheist must also want to be an atheist. Those who want to see something will see a lot even at dusk; those who do not want to see little even in bright light.
