Everyone has the right to believe what he or she wants to believe in. It's just the little problem that people want to rule other people with these illusions. You don't believe in a god, but still you should follow someone else's deity and live by the rules that one allegedly put down? Or the time when fiction goes against fact and one still favors fiction? "We have always done this!" should not be a valid argument anymore, but still it's used every day. Only by education can we get people to think and someone has to get the ball rolling.
Welcome to AF!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
