Hey guys!
I posted a few weeks ago about my process of leaving religion and I know deep down that this a process that might take a long time.
But something I would like to discuss is how to deal with the fear that comes with it. Fear of other people's opinion, and mostly the fear of hell.
It's been liberating to finally see the world in another way, but I still can't shake up the feeling of doing something wrong. Well, I not saying that I'll go do whatever I want and harm others and myself now that I'm not religious. But it's been good to not become paranoid all the time, scared that at any moment this all mighty guy will punish me for anything he thinks is bad. It's been good to count on me to make this life the best life possible and be good to others because I care and not because I'm told to.
But I confess that I'm still, in a way, terrified.

Study enough and you find out that your "almighty guy" is himself bad. In the end he came out mythical to me and I credit my bible studies for doing that.
