Something to think about....

You have no idea about what life is about. How dare you view people with
religious beliefs as weak or less intelligent. In fact I think we are
stronger than most people because we are able to view life from a
supernatural perspective. We realize that we are not alone and that life
has meaning. And pain and suffering have value. I guess you have never
experienced heaven on earth, but I have and so have many other people,
millions of people. Faith is a gift and I am very grateful for having
received that gift. With it my life has meaning, every small gesture in
my day has meaning. I pray that one day you might experience this
yourself.

I gladly give my life to God. I am proud to say that I have someone who
loves me unconditionally and whom I Iove back. But it's not enough to
say that I love God if I don't love the person that I encounter in each
moment. I guess that would even have to include you.

Have you ever sat on the top of a mountain and watched a sunset. Did you
create that. Did humans create all the fruits and vegetables and grains
that we have been eating for thousands of years.

Stop blaming God for what hasn't gone right in the world. Humans are to
blame. We don't share our wealth. We don't treat one another with
respect and we are not open to differing cultures and viewpoints.

Why would you bother those who have found some solace and sense of
community in a worshipping community. I really feel sorry for you! Get a
life and do something positive to improve the world instead of trying to
tear down the good that is already out there.

Anyhow, as I said you can definitley use prayers so I will pass along
some your way.
