Some lady from work invited me to her church and even though I said yes as she sort of put me on the spot, I have zero plans of attending her church or talking any further with her about the subject. I've read the Bible, and while I haven't studied it as in-depth as I could've, I know there is simply nothing there for me. I've thought about these issues for well over a decade. I've considered whether or not I'm wrong. I've weighed the options. I simply do not believe in god.
This isn't some spontaneous decision I've come to, as no Christian ever seems to be able to grasp. They act as if I haven't thought these things through over and over and over, as if I'm missing some key point or have simply dismissed god without considering its existence.
That's the part that drives me the most crazy, to be honest.
I'm where you are, but I'm older, so that decision not to argue with the religious came about 14 years ago. It isn't worth the candle to me, though sometimes I see something that sets me off.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
