You Won’t
By that I mean you won’t know anything about what you contend until it’s too late to have any benefit from it.
Avoiding the superstition of religion is brilliant.
But eliminating the mercy, grace and equality of a spirited life is foolish.
If human beings are capable through their own motivation to duplicate the kindness they feel when they are energized by something eternal, then agnosticism and atheism might have a point.
But the history of those who are vacuous of a godhead has proven to be a situation in which many have just become vacuous of anything in their heads.
- Jaded
- Frustrated
- Bitter
- Angry
- Malicious
- And overly careful
These attributes have often been the byproduct for those who have clung to the idea that there’s no “one” to cling to.
Let me tell you—to the average ravenous believer, I might appear to be agnostic.
I do not buy into the ritual.
I do not scream and yell about maintaining the purity of a holy book.
I do not attend an organized religious service.
I do not believe in the Old Testament
Truthfully, I’m picky and choosy about the New Testament.
And I’m open to allowing other inspirational ideas to pepper my intelligence gravy.
But candidly, I’m not about to lose out on the chance to either go around on this life again or to be divinely inspired and creatively energized through all time by a presence or power by stubbornly proclaiming it non-existent.
As an atheist, you won’t know anything because you are positive—just like the religious fanatics you so despise—that you must take a hard line on the absence of God, just as they are on stumping for every jot and tittle.
Why don’t you play the odds?
It’s rather unlikely that human beings are merely a part of the animal kingdom.
There is no creature that comes close to our intellect.
Whether you believe it is God, Jesus, aliens or mystical gases in the Fourteenth Universe, you must admit that it would be lovely to keep the beauty of life going into another dimension of existence.
So when asked, “Do you believe in God?” my response is simple:
“I must–because he, she or it certainly seems to believe in me.”
