It promises nothing. Not happiness. Not fulfilment. Not a better life. You have to make the most of your life as best you can. Personally I'm a lot happier since I gave up on the superstition.
Hi, I'm Beccs and I'm an ex-Catholic. 20 years clean.
Yay. I was raised RCC. Welcome to the club Beccs.

That said, there's a reason I've been avoiding it. I'm terrified right now. I don't get how anyone's supposed to be happy like this.
I feel like...all I can do is cope with life now. I don't see what there is to look forward to, or to take reassurance in. Everything just seems empty.
(Why yes, I'm on meds and seeing a counselor. Doesn't help much.)
Have you considered Pastafarianism? Our afterlife reward is an endless buffet, mansions for everyone, strippers, a beer volcano and the best tv reception ever.
