turned on the television
to a preacher man
telling his congregation
how things are going to be when they die.
he scoffed at "nonbelievers" who do not think that anything will happen to them after death,
"well, they've got a rude awakening coming for them because that it is not the truth the Bible reveals."
really.
he scoffed and essentially called us liars
"they will tell you they do not fear death, they will act brave, but that is not the case. i'll bet you they lie awake at night in fear."
well, you lost that bet.
it's not really a brave act, it's a real calm. my fear and anxiety and obsessive thoughts on death ended when i officially moved from questioning christianity to clarified atheism. it's not that i won't have any anxiety if i'm actually confronted with my own mortality, but it will have everything with an innate desire to avoid pain and zero to do with what will happen to me after. my life became infinitely more free and more enjoyable when heaven and hell were acknowledged as myth.
i now live in the now.
this man's talking to an audience of terrified, grey haired ladies and their stern, bald headed husbands. he is a quack doctor, playing on their fears. spouting nonsense with conviction.
this is a terrible type of fraud.
