Do you:
A) Wonder at the power of imagination and have nothing but love
B) A little annoyed at the extremists but overall at peace
C) Seriously worry about the state of the world and it's religious influences.
D) Am pissed at everyone that believes in God, feel betrayed by those who raised you and want to hit something every-time a church bell rings.
I try to be an "A" but to be honest, some people just slam me in the D category. I'm not even an atheist. I'm open minded but my biggest pet peeve is know-it-alls I guess.
More or less D for me.
It does seriously annoy me that people believe this rubbish. Worse still, some people make life decisions based on religious belief, which to me is insane. Shunning family members in favour of a made up sky daddy, refusing medical treatment, blowing oneself up, stuff like that...
I could go on and on, but I won't.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
