[Serious] Comfort in Faith at Death

[Haipule]

If I have to watch someone die, I would choose calm and happy over crying and scared every single time.
Also, if I have to see someone struggle in life, I would much rather see them struggle with hope and confidence surrounded by a community that loves them than to see them struggle alone completely hopeless. That’s not to say that atheists are incapable of feeling peace in hard times or death. I just think it’s especially easier for theists to pass in peace. And I think it’s a good thing. If I could, when it came time for me, I would program my brain to suddenly believe something much happier and better was awaiting me.

Beautiful words! I struggled much of my life with hope and confidence as my only friends only to be rejected by the community that loves me. Yes they love me but, damned if they don't get it! Life ain't easy but it is mandatory! To rise above it all is sweet, sweet vindication of my faith and hope! Yet, does anyone realize that I walked off a cliff onto an invisible bridge learning that God's Word is a light to my path and a guide to my feet? Shit Dude, I have been to hell and back on that bridge! Yet, when I look back, it's always solid ground! "To boldly go where no one has gone before" is my life story. That was not a bragamony. I've had up to here! Yet, it never ends! People keep telling me I'm smart because I'm rich when in reality I'm a freaked-out dumbass!
