28. We are here for you brother (sister?)
Trodding the highway of life as an Atheist/Agnostic is not an easy path to choose, but be comforted that you are at least being true to yourself.

It gets harder. Death for example becomes a highly offensive and egregious insult to sentient beings, rather than a gateway to eternal life full of golden streets, surpassing wisdom, and free pizza. It is worth it though, to me at least, and you have company.

:hug:
