What is an Atheist

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
