It really is a long but good read. Is there a way to verify this really is JP talking here? Sure sounds, and the writing style is, like JP.
If it truely is, the man has gained much respect from me. That public announcement of a rethink of ones entire worldview is commendable and most respectable.
I think those of us here that did the same thing will agree it can hurt. Make you feel most idiotic over all the wasted years you could have been actually doing something to improve your lot in life rather than praying to God-daddy to make it all right. Working to correct the hell in your life rather than "placing it in God's hands".
My thoughts and heart go out to the man, if true, as again, those who did the same knows what will come next. The heavy heart. The damnation dreams. The hatred of being lied to and deceived.
But if myself and others here are examples then the feeling of no more weight on the shoulders, the enlightenment to see everything for what it is should follow soon and he'll be happy he's being true to himself and not to a bunch of long dead ancient church leaders.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
