Been a few months now and so far I got zero payoff. Squat. Diddly. I preferred my comfortable lie to this ugly truth, but having unplugged, I now can't plug myself back in or unthink what I thought.
I can't even have fun debating with christians because I would not want them to lose what I lost!
I think I'm going through the kuber Ross model for Yahweh and I'm stuck on anger.
Welcome back Jacob. I missed you on the forum because your comments were usually reasonable and respectful, even if you didn't agree. Let me suggest that part of your problem is that you're looking for the point of view that causes you to receive the most benefits rather that what is the truth. Christianity isn't about what benefits you can get from it, but is about believing in and following God. We do reap benefits, but we also suffer along the way. Life is tough here and there's no escape from it. I struggle, but I receive comfort from knowing the truth and serving someone greater than myself and I look forward to something much better. Neither atheism, christianity or any other belief is going to make this world a playground. It seems apparent that your search may not be over and I do wish you the best.
