FRA is the Science- and Reason-based
confidence that ALL religion is obvious mythology. It is the crystal-clear understanding
that "God", and all related lore, is a ridiculous and transparent fairy tale
which has no bearing on, or connection to, objective reality. Arrival
at FRA can be almost epiphanal. Once FRA has been achieved, many things become
stunningly obvious, such as:
"God" does
not - can not - exist and that there is nothing
to fear from such vengeful and unpredictable
gods;
Gods
and ghosts and goblins are all the stuff of
ancient legend, invented around the campfires
of ignorant and superstitious cultures before
the dawn of knowledge;
There
is no life after death or continuation of consciousness
or memory (read brain activity) after the cessation
electrical activity in the brain;
There will be no heavenly reward
for those who have suffered enough, or who gave enough money, or who did
crazy shit because godhisownself told them to, or in general lived a life
focused on misery, deprivation, and self abasement and forced others to do
the same;
Jesus
does not love you;
Jesus
is not your best friend;
Jesus is not alive, he is not here in the room
with you this very minute, and he is not coming - ever;
Jesus does not walk with you and he does NOT
talk to anyone except the insane or the deluded;
Jumping through the "Jesus hoop" will not win
one eternal salvation and preferential entry into eternal bliss;
Satan -
the other christian god
- does not
exist and that people are responsible for the bad things that they
do.
There is no Santa Claus and there ain't no
such thing as a free lunch.
Man created "God" in his own image;
There are no monsters under the bed
Full Realization Atheism is irreversible
unless one suffers brain damage. Once one has broken the bonds
of the ancient superstitions and the childhood indoctrination and
has recognized "God's" mythical
nature, and all that that implies, one is capable of moving forward
and acting as an informed and rational Human, and all that THAT
implies. |
