It’s funny how people think we are the weak ones for having faced existential dread and rather than create some fantasy world beyond death to quiet it, we faced it head on and accepted the truth.

Being an atheist means radical acceptance of the reality that we were non-consensually plucked from oblivion to experience, and the understanding that we will one day return to that oblivion and that is okay.

I think that takes someone pretty damn strong.

Do I wish there was a god and an afterlife? HELL YEAH. But that doesn’t magically mean there is one. I think a lot of theists forget this.
