Glad you're here, man. I hope we can offer you some comfort and the sense of community that means so much to me, when I come here.
It may seem fairly intense, emotionally, right now, but as the others have said, you have taken a step into a brave new world.
Twenty-two years since I had that particular "Sixth Sense" epiphany, and I have not looked back.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
