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.
WELVCOME!
As others have said, it will get easier.
How much time do you spend being frightened of all the other gods and their hells that you were not brought up believing in? Yeah, that's about the same amount of time you should spend worrying about the Christian god/hell.
If you want to watch a great vid on secular morality, and why, even if there is a god, secular morality is superior, google 'superiority of secular morality' by Matt Dilahunty.
You should seek out local free thought and atheist groups.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
