damn. i was so confused reading your post. i just skimmed through it (sorry) and read the question at the end. i read it wrong at first as thought you wrote 'how do you get over humping?'
just to throw in my statistic, i agree some said here on other posts. We accept reality as an atheist or as metaphysical naturalists (being an atheist does not necessarily exclude the belief of an afterlife). Very important: there are definitely atheists in the world that believe in the after life. yeah. However, Metaphysical Naturalists, Materialists or whatever you want to call them i guess, do not believe in an afterlife and accept nothing further than death as a termination of consciousness for good. so i choose to enjoy life as much as I can, appreciating the little things as in the movie Zombie Land because we only live for a tiny tiny fraction of the history of human kind. There's no sense in worrying about what you said or what you did wrong yesterday... Should I have said hello to that girl? Should I try out for the competition? Just do it because we are on a tiny planet on the arm of a galaxy and it doesn't matter what you do as long as you're having a good time and not jeopardizing the happiness of other people around you (which leads to unhappiness unless you're a psychopath i guess)
