Who here has stepped off that cliff and left the security of faith behind them?
I have and it didn't feel good. A friend of mine became suicidal when going through it and she opted back into religion because she couldn't cope without her faith.
I don't believe anything and have learned so much from my experience. It's difficult to remain completely unbiased in a culture that says, 'If you don't believe 'x', you must believe 'y''. Get me? I just cannot buy into fluff and fantasy, even though it would make me feel cosy like a drug.
My payoff is knowing that I'm open to truth whatever form it may take, not molding reality to fit my perceived view on truth / fact.
If you have had a similar experience - how do you face life's unknowns. What is your payoff?
