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.
It'll get easier as you get older, but i'll toss you some advice.
The whole death issue, and could there be something after death, maybe, but more likely there is nothing. It sounds worse then it probably is. My train of thought on this is when you go to sleep and don't remember dreaming, it's just nothing.. it's no big deal. Plus when you die everything is shutoff, you'll have no fear, thoughts anything. The idea of it is the only scary thing about it, the action of it doesn't sound that bad to me. Live your life now, fuck death.
The moral code existed before religion, religions claim to morality is about as false as their claim of creating marriage. They may make claims to instituting such things, but these things would be in place with or without religion.
If god is real then he/she is a genocidal dick and I much rather be in hell with a much more level headed fallen angel by the name of Lucifer.
Honestly, don't sweat that shit, more then likely god isn't real, live your life.
