Atheists & Doubt

Atheists are unhappy because they doubt everything. They doubt everything because without G_d, the whole of reality becomes implausible. With G_d, things don't have to be plausible to you - they don't have to satisfy your idea of probability. You can simply accept that everything is as it is for good reason - whether you can personally appreciate it or not. When the universe is reduced to purely physical components, everything gets disconnected and that makes the significance of everything smaller. Suddenly each element is no longer part of a bigger picture or greater plan. The significance of even a living individual is reduced to space and mass, so we become miniscule. But once we accept that there is moral content and purpose within the universe, we cease to be isolated material phenomena. Every single thing, living or not, every scrap of matter can matter. We can have significance, just as we experience it. The thing I find most ironic is that the atheist doubts even their own experiences, and I'd have thought they'd need to hold on to them, given that they are all they have to go on. The faithful are more rational.

EDIT

There is an assumption - and it really is just an assumption - that the universe is governed by physical laws instead of a conscious and adaptable will. Really, the idea that the universe is governed by laws is idolatry and not really borne out by experience. How often are the meteorologists right? Almost never. They are basing what the weather will do on ideas of probability based on past weather records and there is actually no evidence to suggest that the weather will follow predictable patterns at all, let alone ones simple enough for us to calculate.
