Seriously, I need a break from people. This guy came looking for someone to talk to, just talk, and you asshats tell him we aren't qualified and question his sanity.
I'm done here for a while.
That is not what I wrote. Logically speaking as an atheist, the fact is that you have only this one attempt at life and that is it. Thus for an atheist, this one life is even more meaningful because there are no "do-overs".
Well not every conversion story is as clear cut as yours. Some people deal with the reality better than others and while one would think that it would be a relief to know there is no god, others clearly find that not to be the case. In that situation, it's best to use empathy and not whatever you used because you know - sensitivity is indeed a thing. More people in this world could use that.
