Hi!

I was raised religious and didn't start to have doubts until this year. My biggest fear (which still worries me) is that if I'm wrong, I'm being ungrateful to God. It would be a terrible person who refused to appreciate her greatest benefactor, right?

So now you have one data point.

The world should give you plenty of reasons to be outraged at God.

Definitely. The world is fucked up.

I have the same instinct toward outrage.

However, to the extent that the target of my emotion is unhuman (e.g. a rock I stubbed my toe on, or Clippy), I try to ignore the feeling and behave rationally instead.
