it comes to that little crack under the bed, I am like a little child. I know it's irrational to think a monster is going to jump out and grab me, but ech. I hate that little crack. I saw a movie as child and man, it really traumatized me or something. I don't believe in god, or superstions, but the little crack under the bed is downright evil.

I said it's irrational. but you know, it's a little crack. I don't believe in monsters, it just gives me the creeps like there is a monster. Like i said, that movie really freaked me out.

So, why don't you get something and fill that little crack in? We all have something we are irrationally afraid of, Mine is having to go down outside metal fire escpes.

Believes are developed by experiences. I am a true believer that things happen in three. A relative dies, you are going to have at least 2 more in the near future.
Another superstious is picking my tools up before the job is done. I repair resturant equipment. Besides hand tools, I may have the torch, recovery machine, drills, or other tools. But, I will not start putting them up until the job is finished. If I do, I will need the tool again.
I consider it a curse to tell someone is exact terms instead of general speaking. For example, I do not say, "Don't have a wreck." Instead, I say to drive safely. The first announcement almost guarantees an accident.

So your question is: If there is no God then who or what made that little crack evil? Well the crack is not evil. You are afraid of something. It does no good denying it. If all else fails you could read up what Carl Jung had to say about the shadow self a dark side to each of us we learn to hide or hide from. Within this darkness we can glimpse our ugly traits and flaws that we hate and seek to bury. Jung said there is no denying this part of ourselves, the more we try to hide from it the more it demands our attention, the more it craves to be recognised and embraced. I think Jung means we must forgive ourselves although you could check that point out with a professional.
You see the laws of nature apply to everyone even Atheists.

I suppose that you will eventually get over this. If you can apply rational thought to the rest of your life (as appears to be the case), you will be able to apply it to the crack under the bed as well. In the meantime, sprinkle some borax powder into the crack to discourage insects such as bedbugs from residing there.

There is no such thing as a "rational atheist" except when defined by parameters set only by the atheist him/herself. "Reason" or logic, the basis for rationality, must be founded on a premise or set of premises. Those premises must be accepted "a priori", or without reason or explanation. There is not a person in the world who is "rational" except when they establish as fact their premise, but that establishment itself is irrational. It is impossible, therefore, for any person to ultimately be "completely rational". We all are irrational at some point in our thought processes.
Therefore, being the irrational being that you are, you are prone to engage in further irrational thought and behavior, such as you describe in your childish reaction to a "crack" under your bed.
Good luck with that.

Think about it. How many kids get eaten by monsters under their bed a year? Oh that's right, ZERO! Because monsters do not exist. When you realize that, your fears will go away.

Sometimes you just get disturbed by certain scenes. It does not make you an irrational person. As long as you know that your irrational thinking is irrational, you are sane and proper.

Hope you grow out it someday but the real evil is on the news every day if you get past the misinformation and bias first.

You won't believe in God, but you'll believe there might be something evil with that crack under the bed.
What's wrong with this picture?
