I've just accepted I'm an atheist and I'm having a hard time. Just the realization that ... There is nothing after all of this ... I'm deeply hurt ... how do I move on and feel good about life again?

Well, the good news is (or bad news is depending how you look at it) that there is an afterlife. I know it since I've have a near death experience before and it's the most completely natural things that I've ever gone through. No fear, no anxiety. I was at peace for the first time in my life; it just so happens that it occurred when I was dead.

Just invite Jesus into your heart.

It's all in your head. When you die, you won't even know it. You'll be incapable of perception. Time will pass you by infinitely and Instantaneously just as it did before you were born. Eternity isn't so bad if you're unbound user, i'll see you there.

You just get over it after awhile, also the afterlife thing when you have a near death experience is a lack of oxygen to the brain and basically it causes hallucinations and shit like that. In other words you went loopy and your brain tried to make you happy.

> I'm deeply hurt ... how do I move on and feel good about life again?

uh revert to being a theist??? moron.

If you wish that you weren't an atheist anymore than take some 5meoDMT. Look it up user.

You should probably search out a sage.

So you become an atheist, and then you feel terrible after that because you got rid of God, but that means you got rid of yourself, you're just nothing but a machine
And your idea that you're a machine is just a machine too... (a machine in the system)
So if you think that that's the way things are, you feel hostile to the world.
You feel that the world is a neurological trap into which you somehow got caught... trapped...
You run from the maternity ward to the crematorium and that's it... that's it...
So if you're a smart kid you commit suicide.

Now I want to propose another idea all together...
The real you, is not a puppet which life pushes around.
The real you, the real deep down you, is the whole universe.
You cannot confine yourself to what happens inside the skin.
Your skin doesn't separate you from the world, it's a bridge.
But just as a magnet polarizes its-self in north and south but its all one magnet,
so experience polarizes itself as "Self" and "Other", but it's all one.

What you call the "External world" is as much YOU as your own body.
Most people think that when they open their eyes and look around that what they are seeing is outside...
it seems, doesn't it, that you are behind your eyes.
We haven't realized that life and death, black and white, good and evil, being and non-being, come from the same center.

When you look for your own particularized center of being which is separate from everything else, you wont be able to find it.
The only way you'll know it isn't there is if you look hard enough, to find out that it isn't there.
It isn't there at all, there isn't a separate you.
There are, in physical reality, no such things as separate events.

People can't be talked out of illusions.
If a person believes that the earth is flat, you can't talk him out of that, he knows that it's flat.
He'll go down to the window and see that its obvious, it looks flat.
So the only way to convince him that it isn't is to say, "Well let's go and find the edge".

Suck it up, the world has lifetimes of activity, and you have one to do it all. Your legacy lasts longer than you do.

Knowing that all the bs religtards are brainwashing lies makes it easier. Yoh have found the truth against the odds and persuasion and thousands of competing ideas

how did you feel before you were born? it'll be like that

I like this :)

your beliefs arent real, once you realize that the spirit world leaves you alone at times, and comes back other times. life makes sence.

Amen!

Wut?

he is right!!!

we all don't think it is, but it do

There is no afterlife. If you’re dead, you die. As in dead. You were asleep. It happens. There is no God.

Very wise user. It takes a real non-dual experience for most people to truly understand what you're saying though.

Or invite a cock into your ass. Same basic sensation and end result. Stop with the jesus nonsense already.

You will return to the Faith. By gunpoint if necessary. Everyone,will be washed in the Blood of Jesus Crhist.
Including you.

how do you know this? you ever been dead?

>NDE

you know those are just massive DMT overdoses right? everyone sees what they expect to see in NDEs and that isnt a coincidence

Can I wash my ass and balls in Jesus blood? They smell a little funky.

>how do I move on and feel good about life again?

adopt a position of optimistic nihilism

put that at the best part (especially the close your eyes bit) but the whole video is great

Having a girl friend seemed to help me

Stop talking shit you retard. Maybe, just maybe it is possible that you were halluzinating? I mean that shit happens when your brain is not supplied with enough oxygen. You feeling at piece while close to death doesnt prove fucking batshit. As long as you cant come up with evidence or at least a theory how this shit would be possible to exist in our universe, dont pretend your bullshit was fact. You just wish it to be true.

You once again realize that there is something, obviously. Becoming an atheist is just assuming tabula rasa. And that's a good thing because most people are born with belief systems adopted blindly from their parents. Belief-rasa-knowledge. Only once you've gotten rid of your past beliefs can you look out for new things devoid of preconceptions.

Most atheists are just knee-jerk anti-Christians, and that's understandable. But spirituality, for lack of a better word, is a far larger concept than the Abrahamic religions can contain.

Why don't you go study qigong? There's a lot more to the multiverse, but without any power, you'll never really feel it.

yeah you are a perfect example of someone who doesn't get enough oxygen in the brain

Being dead feels just like how it felt before you were born.

Now that the clock's ticking, and you have finite time to live, you have to make your life worth living NOW. Love people NOW. Make a positive change in the world NOW.

lol

What is the point in implying a correlation between physicality and spirituality?

At least i dont need to make myself believe in ghosts and flying souls and shit to be able to sleep at night. Man up faggot.

You could try to beat the Las Vegas record.

It is the only way to immortality.

>just massive DMT overdoses right

This has never been proven. There is zero evidence that DMT is released by the brain upon death. It's a conjecture by a SINGLE guy named Dennis McKenna who mainly just does research on growing mushrooms. Somehow the "BRO WEED BRO" movement got ahold of it and now its passed around like its truth.

...

but why does that bother you?

i got no problem with it but you seem very upset about it

Don't think about it, always helps

You are just like the four year old child at a friend’s birthday party, having a great time, and have just realised that the party will eventually end. You can throw a tantrum, scream and cry (ie get religion) or show some maturity by accepting the inevitable with a little dignity.

easy, worry about the now instead of the future. live in such a way that you wont have any regrets when you diei. Thats how i live my life. the only problem is the occasional thrashing around by yourself in a dark room having an existential crisis, but im not living the way i want quite yet

ill take "things that never happened" for 500

OP I like to think of it like this. If we were nothing and became something then why can't that keep happening? Like if god doesn't exist and this is reality then what's to say If we truly die?? Also if when we die and it's truly instantaneous and infinite then wouldn't it be possible for you to be reborn???

Hookers...hot sexy hookers

There is an after life OP.

It is called The Singularity.
