Observation after embracing atheism for a year
#9
RE: Observation after embracing atheism for a year
Yeah, realizing that there's only one life, and that the responsibility for our words and actions are real and can't simply be waved away by telling some imaginary figure in our heads we're really sorry is sobering. And, as Tres Leches said, freeing.

I liken it to becoming an adult. Sky daddy isn't going to smooth things over when they go sideways or ground you when you do something he doesn't like. Because he doesn't exist, and never did. Welcome to life without a safety net. What are you going to do with it?
