Dare him to strike you down where you stand. Call him a fuck-bunion. Ask him if he's going to do anything about you thinking he doesn't even exist. Tell him to stick his hell up his arse. Nothing will happen (that wasn't going to happen anyway) so hopefully you'll become more convinced no one is listening. This will probably be scary at first, but the more you do it, the easier it will get I think.
It's odd to think that I had not come to this conclusion myself. I too am a recent deconvert. It took me years of skepticism and doubt to finally come to the conclusion that I was an atheist, and that development was just reached within this last year.
So, I took this advice just now in private and actually found it to be quite soothing. I definitely agree that there is a bit of underlying fear when you do something blasphemous (due to your background and experiences), but I am glad that I read your post and followed through with it.
Thanks!
