-snipped for brevity-
Imma cut you some slack, since it;s your first post. Won2B here is actually new to this whole atheism thing, he was..very recently...and perhaps at least marginally when he first joined, still a believer. He has a "sky is falling" narrative that dovetails with his indoctrination as a Witness (people who have been claiming that the sky was falling for so long one wonders how they fail to notice it isn't laying on the floor already).
Yes, it's a bit of a stretch even on it's own terms, but that honestly irrelevant to the subject of the question because even if it -weren't- a stretch, it still has nothing to do with daniel or with god. Daniel was describing another "sky is falling" moment - long since past. Which is why criticizing the "sky is falling" fear that he or anyone else may have isn't useful in addressing the uneasiness he feels. The uneasyness, if you missed it in the first post, isn't that the sky is falling in and of itself, but that daniel predicted it. Thus, it is -to him-, very much related to his newfound atheism.
As to the mods, they only take out the trash when it breaks the rules......lol, not when someone thinks it's super, super stupid. Welcome aboard, btw.
