“That's why atheism is the only worldview that's made sense to me. Religion can be hope for many people, but after having a brush with death myself, I find it liberating that this is the one life we get. It's a reminder to make the most of it, especially when my agoraphobia is holding me back. When there's no heaven, I have extra incentive to get the fuck out of my house and experience everything this world has to offer.”

“With anyone else, I would feel violated by someone knowing about my deepest wounds before I have the chance to divulge them on my own terms. I don't air out my dirty laundry to everyone I meet. But there's something comforting about not needing to explain myself for once.”

“When Ryan died, I got so sick of people handling me with kid gloves, even though I got up close and personal with his brain matter. Nothing deconverted me faster than people telling me it was all part of God's plan. What horseshit. That's the real blasphemy, thinking some omnipotent being cracked open a twenty-three-year-old's skull to teach us some grand lesson. I broke off ties with my evangelical family and never stepped foot in a church again after his funeral. My faith died with him, and unlike Ryan, I never missed it.”
