For what it's worth, there does appear to be life after God, it's just very short.

Hi Gang,
"When I was living in Thunder Bay, my name was regularly found on the "prayer lists" of some local churches. I continually have Christians tell me they are praying for my recovery from cancer. I have to agree that prayer is a great way of doing absolutely nothing to make me feel better as they pass that responsibility on to their mythical god creature. In my new town of Elliot Lake, I am not befriending the Christian community. Incidentally, I cherish the notes, phone calls and invitations for a coffee that I get from other Atheists. They are more important to me than making any "prayer list" . . . and I experience the genuine "love" that Christian's say they are all about but do not seem to have mastered. I guess they are leaving that lesson for the time when they go to their "heaven". I certainly don't feel as if I am alone which is more than I can say for many of the cancer fighting Christians I know. One of my best friends, a devout Christian, died last month of cancer, and, for the last two months of his life he wished he hadn't spent his life as a Christian. He converted to Atheism in his last days. I felt sorry for his sadness in realizing he had wasted his life as a "Christian" writer."
