I've read your post over several times, and it makes sense. There are more coping mechanisms at play than just the God illusion. I think perhaps I've rushed into things so quickly that I haven't had time to adapt emotionally. I have OCD with a strongly obsessional quality rather than compulsive. That tends to lead to obsessing over even the great mysteries and needing to have answers to everything *right now* (!). It's not healthy. I think I need to pull back, read more posts, and ease into my unbelief rather than trying to give it a label right now. Someone elsewhere described that as going from one addiction to another. Not sure how accurate of a description that is, but this is a process, so why not take some time with it rather than expect change overnight? Tonight I'm going to have some herbal medicine and take it easy rather than obsessing about all of this.Thanks again for your posts. They've helped a lot.
Yet another service we provide.

Thanks for taking the time to read it all. Most of the time I just phone it in, I hope all my future dick jokes stick the landing just as well!
