This. A million billion gazillion times, this.

What I find offensive is when people say that I just like to "believe" that there is no God, as if trying to level some perceived playing field, where they're on the back foot because they believe without evidence. If we both believed in things without evidence, then clearly we wouldn't be having this discussion, so stop trying to treat atheism like it's just another religion.

Atheism is a religion in the same way that not collecting stamps is a hobby. I know I've said this before, but people need to take it in.

Dear You,
You can make it through this. The clouds will not last forever.
From Me.
