Well, I'm an atheist, a teen atheist from a christian home and its become super hard. I can't deal with the fact that I'm just going to die. I can't deal with the fact that when I'm on my own, I'm truly alone and nobody will be watching me from above. Without religion, where's the moral code?
What if this god dude is real? I'll be in hell. Hell is scary.
I guess I've joined to see people who share the same beleif that Religion/God is NOT the only way to peace, happiness, life fulfillment etc. I want to debunk the myth that all atheist are depressed because they're lonley and will just turn to dust when they die. Sorry this is really long, thank you.
Fear tactics are one of the ways many within religions keep control over others - particularly the threat of torment.
I know people who have been atheists for years who still struggle with it.
The best way to oversome the feelings you're having is to talk to others about it.
Coming here is a good start.
Dying to live, living to die.
