Hi Rob. As a new atheist myself, I'm glad to see others willing to discuss the real challenges associated with realizing that God doesn't exist. This comes with many realizations that have freed me in many ways and have given me more empathy towards other human beings, especially realizing that we only have one short life and that for some people, this single life is crappy. Talking about the fear of death that comes with becoming an atheist and the anxiety is truly an important topic. I look forward to continuing to read from you.
Very happy to connect Audrey! It’s amazing how much empathy comes from changing your worldview. I have yet to determine if it simply stems from recognizing our own errors in judgement or no longer having to adhere to a “godly morality” that often requires cruelty toward out groups (maybe a combination of both). Either way, it’s an exciting and rewarding journey (with tears along the way), and I’m very happy to connect with others like you to go on this journey with.
Feel free to reach out at anytime and I look forward to learning from you as well!
