Dave Warnock shares with Chuck and Brady about facing his mortality after leaving Christianity and being diagnosed with ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease. He's creating new meaningful relationships and learning to savor the moments of life as an Atheist.   They also discuss the pretzels they twisted themselves in to justify Biblical language, whether Dave's illness would make him want to go back, Christians who gaslight by saying people who left weren't really Christians, and finding new community that will last until the end.   Episode begins with Chuck addressing a common issue people leaving dogma face, the lingering fear of hell. Stepping away from religion doesn't alway get rid of the conditioned anxiety and fear of eternal punishment, but Chuck lays out a compelling case for dismissing that concern by using the Bible. You won't want to miss it.   Dave is touring from secular group to humanist church to speak on his life motto of "Carpe F*****g Diem." The juxtaposition of his inspirational outlook and somber situation is allowing many to see how people without belief in God can face mortality with unflinching optimism, sensibility, and humor --- surrounded by people who love them (and don't have an agenda).   Keep up with Dave here: daveoutloud.com | Support Dave here: patreon.com/dyingoutloud       Episode Content Warning: lots of language, death, Bible verses Music by Nightlightr | CDBaby, iTunes and Spotify Connect with the Life After Podcast & Community here: linktr.ee/thelifeafter
