This has nothing to do with SMP, but I'm just curious about other people's experiences. Wasn't it a shock when the world view you took for granted as true your whole life just started slipping away and disappearing into thin air like that?
I read somewhere that this girl at one of Dawkins' seminars burst into tears as it dawned on her there really wasn't a god. People go through so many emotions. One of them is anger. Anger at being lied to all those years. Anger at themselves for being so gullible. Anger at having wasted so much time living a fantasy.
This is why I really do agree with Dawkins on one point. Don't brainwash your children! It's really traumatic on them if they ever do break free from the dogma.

You should make a thread about it.
