Grief Without God-The Thinking Atheist Podcast #16

When tragedy befalls spiritual people, they often find solace and comfort in their faith. They pray. They envision reunions in Heaven with lost loved ones. They remind themselves that God has a higher purpose. But how does one deal with tragedy and grief outside of the belief in God? How do atheists cope in their own lives, and how can they offer comfort to others? A difficult subject. But an important one.

Their meaningless gestures and say thank you

[metube45678910]

I never knew anyone else felt like that... The emptiness of pulling into yourself. When you don't have a belief though... The loathing you feel to those who are going through the standard dialog. I would sit their hearing the same he's in a better place I'm praying for him, I would honestly want to flick them off. Just say stop don't you see he's gone he's dead everything he is and was is rotting. Your not supposed to say that though all your allowed to do with your grief and pain is to turn to

His voice is really relaxing.

Wow... how can anyone be so cruel? The man is grieving for his mother and you tell him that "he will be judged". Way to go, loving person.

[Ricardo Moreno Almeida]

Really? The man's mother has died. He comes here looking for some comfort from his fellow human beings and all you got is that? Way to be "christian" and "loving thy neighbor".... Man, some people are unbelievable..

@xoblackout: I feel for you man. I hope you found some solace, have managed to grieve and that you're beginning to recover.

sorry to hear that, finding solace in your pride will be more difficult than otherwise but one day you will be judged for your courage.

He's overjoyed because he's gained the ability to speak with his head up his own ass - IT'S A MIRACLE!!

In other words, his ignorance is astonishing. -_-
