re: Is It Possible To Feel Gratitude Without Belief In A Higher Power?

I admit it’s hard to feel gratitude. I certainly appreciate life and the good times, but to say “thank you”? To what? Fate? Chance? Physics?
Losing my faith in a higher being has made it hard to not see everything as meaningless.

That is dangerous. Remember that everyone you encounter has their own reality within their consciousness. We all kind of agree we are in the same one, but in their's, You are just in it. Trying to make a positive impact with those you come into contact with makes EVERYTHING meaningful. You'd probably be better served lying to yourself rather than becoming a Nihilist
I see the pre-ordination of God's omnipotence and omnipresence as something to see everything as meaningless. If God's knows everything I am going to do, I don't have free will and whatever I do is already written somewhere, so why give a flying frick. I'm not responsible.

I can definitely see this. This is precisely why I asked the question.
Atheists have to admit when all is said and done, their beliefs lead to the conclusion that we come from nothing, mean nothing and are going nowhere.
That would be so depressing to me.
