British Columbia Atheists
This is for Atheists In British Columbia, Canada who would like to meet others.
Religion, generally speaking, is followed by those who have no idea of how to deal with their fears. (Of death, being alone and unloved, etc.)
Religion can offer some relief for those fears. but the problem is that it is a relief of distraction and does not remove the fears, it just buries them more deeply in the psyche of the believer and then, many other patterns of dysfunction appear due to these deeply held fears.

To let go of fear, you must first embrace it.

blue pashmina posted a blog postNot believing in an afterlife does not mean i am a "sad' person.
I work in healthcare in a long term care facility and I deal with death on a regular basis. About a year ago the opportunity arose for me to take a palliative care course through my work. I enjoyed it for the most part. It dealt with topics such as end of life care, pain relief and addressing the spiritual needs of different individuals based on their religious beliefs.There was one instance however that was decidedly unpleasant, and unfortunately really overshadowed the rest of my time in the…See More
