I can see why it disgusts you, to be honest. Truth be told, it is THIS aspect of religion and belief that I find the most disgusting and heinous. Yes, he's happy, and his happiness is built on a false premise. It's like being happily married...to a woman sucking the dick of every other man she meets when you're not around. Oh, sure, you're happy NOW, but what happens when that lie collapses and the truth becomes clear? Or worse you waste your life, your finite, precious life, believing an absolute lie? Time that could have been spent with actual true happiness? In the marriage pretext; someone who is genuinely faithful to you, or fuck, at least honest about the dicks she's sucking! In the 'spiritual' sense; finding happiness from yourself, from your own actions, your own experiences, your own strength!
How is it NOT disgusting?! Bet your fucking ass if one of my friends was married to a woman and I saw her fucking some other guy when he was out of town that I'd fucking tell him.
The man's experiencing false happiness, false comforts. His strength is false. His happiness is false. And the limited life he has will be wasted because nothing he will do will ever be credited to himself; he'll give all the credit to his achievements to a deity that does not exist.
Oh yes. I am disgusted. I am nauseous. As a man who's suffered shit that even this poor bastard would cringe at, who nevertheless overthrew faith in exchange for sense of self and pursuit of truth, I am revolted.
