Topic: The Lack Thereof
Hi.
I just had an interesting night. I got on before bed to write to all of you and while checking up on a case that has been developing in my life since Thanksgiving, I came across an Atheist Blog that stirred it up inside of me!!!. These folks are really fired up over their beliefs that the Afterlife does not exist. The funny part about it is that they are so adamant in their belief (religion) they argue about it with anyone who wants to go at it. If you TRULY don't believe that something even exists, why should you even bother to give it another thought? Much less argue about it.
I read it with great interest, watching the arguments develop between people who didn't really seem to get the fact that the Afterlife (or lack therof)was simply the subject they exploited to BE RIGHT about. Do they really believe that they are so superior to everyone else that they can prove something that we have been unsure of for as long as there has been dark and light? It was an amazing display, and I might add well researched, and persuasive on both sides.
My own personal belief is that energy does not die. Knowledge is forever and accessable to all at any time. We just need to figure out how it is we get at it. As far as an Afterlife goes, I have my own concept of it-I'm sure I'll know it (or the lack of it) when I get there. I do not need fear to motivate my intentions. I do not care whether you believe what I believe. I just want to be able to work with others to take care of each other-no matter what. I need to do my part to make things better RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I need to make some art.
I didn't post the name of the Atheist Blog because I would rather not lend strength to their arguments by sending in my troops, but if you are interested in a Theological Cock Fight, contact me and I will give you the link.
Be nice to each other.
