  Nothing.

  by Narkissos in

  perhaps this paradoxical "topic" is one with which we here have dealt a little more, or a little more consciously, than the average population.. we used to have our heads full of beliefs (which we called "truth") in every direction: on theology, on cosmology, on paleontology, on past history, on so-called prophetic future, on heaven above, on earth, on she'ol beneath.

  on many things -- current events, traditions, other peoples' beliefs and behaviours -- we had strong opinions which were directly or indirectly (the famous "conscience" matters) part of the same deal.

  and of course our life was filled with activities and relationships, a community of "friends," people to "help" or "teach," etc.. then, gradually or suddenly, we came to suspect, often with a measure of terror, that all of this was not what we had thought and might sooner or later turn into... nothing.. this "nothing" is perhaps one of the most scary thoughts to people contemplating leaving the org one way or another.

  We live in a empty universe and we are small specks of dust and just simple atoms. We have no grand purpose but you make your own purpose.

  I have been out since 2008 and I still get some knocking on my door.As a matter of fact two came just recently and left a 2012 memorial flyer. I actually feel bad for them they are nice people but misguided.It is not the people that are bad it is the religion.

  When I heard about it I did not understand it. Now a few years later I understand it and it makes so much sense.
