What is an Atheist
Many
of my readers are well aware that I am an Atheist, and have been for over 50
years.
So, am
I anti Christmas? Certainly not, in fact I love Christmas, it’s the time of
year that brings out the best in most of us, we become a little bit kinder, and
a bit more thoughtful of our fellow human beings.
Do I believe
in Jesus? Yes I do, I believe he was a man pure of heart and did his best to
share love and kindness among all people.
Do I believe
in God, no, nor do I believe in most the nonsense written about Jesus, but I do
believe he was a dedicated man, just a man, who tried his best to lead his
fellow man to a better life.
In my
lifetime we've had many more who have tried to bring out the best in all of us,
Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu, Pope John, a catholic, Martin Luther King, a protestant, Mother Theresa, originally a Catholic, but later in life became a Humanitarian, Siddhartha
Gautama referred to as Buddha (awakened) founder of Buddhism, Confucius,
founder of Confucianism, the list goes on and on of people of different
religions doing good things trying to help all people.
Today
we have Bill Gates an atheist, using his immense wealth helping the poor and
needy throughout the world, he will certainly go down in history as one of our
greatest humanitarians.
Throughout
history we have had many who have dedicated their lives to the service of
others, and whatever their religion had no importance what so ever.
Do I
go along with what a very few Atheist are trying to do to those of the
Christian faith? Absolutely not, why don’t they attack Muslims? I’ll tell you
why, they are nothing more than a small group of liberals trying to make their beliefs
important, also might add a group of cowards who know very well that if you
attack the believers Islam they will have a death sentence bestowed upon them immediately
.
I
personally feel that you have the right to believe in whatever you decide to
believe in and that no one has the right to try and destroy or try to change
you for your beliefs.
We
must learn to respect all those who may not believe the same as ourselves, if
you don’t like their beliefs then don’t go to their party.
Have a
very Merry Christmas
