The truth pisses off both Christians and ex-Christian atheists. (Raised-atheists are a different breed.)
Most atheists retain their habits of thought from their religion, and pivot from "the bible is the authority" to "the scholars are the authority". Equally slavish.
That's all bullshit. YOU are the authority. YOU are god for the section of the universe assigned to you. Declaring "how it is" with all certainty will make it *more so*, both by appearances and in truth. You can check this for yourself if you have a certain level of metacognition.
God's right here. With me, with you. Yeah, the omnipotent omnipresent omniscient One. But he's yielded all potency, presence, and science to the inhabitants of this world. He's bestowed it on us, more so than we realize.
As your ego grows, you learn to see it. Expand your ego, it's not inclusive enough. I am my family. I am my people. I am the air, water, and land intertwined with my destiny. (I am this morning's first breath, and I am the air I will take as breath before I sleep.) I am everything I cause and everyone I will ever affect.
I want you all to have that scale of ego. One step short of megalomania. All I'm asking you is to claim is every part of your life. All of it. It's a perfectly reasonable perspective. It's not magical thinking, it's just a bigger sense of "I".
