I'm with Cecelia. Much, much happier not being a Christian anymore. It's kind of a weird experience. You're told (and truly believe and feel) that you're free as a Christian. Yet it's only when you stop identifying as one and choose to let go of those biblical beliefs, when you realize just how chained up you were. To me anyway, it felt like a huge burden off my shoulders. I don't say I don't believe in the hereafter... Maybe there's merit to those "past lives" claims, but it's not something I think about too much. For me, it's better to have nothing at the end of my life, than to go to a place that's either: a) Hell, and live in torment or b) Heaven, where most people I love won't be. You won't know any better if you just cease to exist, now will you?
