First you insult me, then you expect an answer. Okay. I'll give you one. I believe in Truth. No matter how unpleasent. I can't believe in a fairy-tale. Take away the pomp and ceremony and the World's religions are nothing more than Santa Claus: it's belief in something that does not exist. It's fantasy-world. When someone builds their foundation of Life on something not real, they will never let anyone break their belief, or else they have no reason to live. I will never change your mind that there is no God, so don't bring on the sob story that I am going to hurt your faith. I have no desire to change your mind, but I get so frustrated by people sometimes, who are happier than me; who don't think the way I do; that don't see the cold, nothingness that waits for us after life. I cherish life and yet I see a world that I consider so unfair and evil that I cannot change. I get depressed. I lash out at people like you who have the comfort of religion. I can't do that. I am what I am. Today, I was in a resturant and was ordering to-go. I know that the pretty girl who took my order will never be interested in me: she probably has some hunky guy that she dates. I am so much better; I could give so much more to her, but THAT IS LIFE. IT IS UNFAIR. It is not cookie-cutter wonderland, where good people win and bad people are punished, and there is no heaven and hell at the end to meet out justice. It just depresses me sometimes. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

"First you insult me...sob story that I am going to hurt your faith...."

I never insulted you. I never mentioned my faith, or even that I had one. Never. You have invented attributes, of mine, with which to be angry.

"....but I get so frustrated by people sometimes, who are happier than me; who don't think the way I do..."

Here is the truth that allows happiness: After for food, shelter, and clothing; happiness is nothing more than a decision you make. Just a decision.

Your statement contradicts itself. First you say you "believe" in truth and then you go on to present your opinion as if it were "truth" or "fact". Claiming the world's religions are nothing more than Santa Claus is NOT the truth nor is it fact - it is your personal opinion and claiming it is the "truth" makes it YOUR personal fairytale - YOUR fantasy-world.

Should you have rather said....

...it's belief in something that I have not seen.

...?

I like your statement of Santa, for I think it is a destroyer of faith:

What? No Tooth Fairy!!

..and Santa is a lie!?!?

..and NOW you want me to believe in a 'GOD' I cannot see either?!

Think about it Christians, as you lie to your young children this season, just so you can see the 'look on their little faces'......

Please... try some OTHER way to 'make them be good' for a month!
