Since recognizing my atheism, . . .

I've found these kinds of statements make me sad:

"My soul waits for the Lord, more than those who watch for the morning." Psalm 130:6 New King James Version

Someone posted this this morning with a beautiful painting. How sad to forgo of the joy of this day, waiting for an imaginary one.

Or "I give all the credit for my success to god. Without him I'd be nothing."

How very sad.

"I'll pray for you."

Really? Nice thought, but what a waste of energy. Would you consider redirecting a few dollars of your tithing to charity that actually helps people with my condition?

That is the biggest regret of my childhood....

and warning for the future. I skipped out on several opportunities in deference to my religious beliefs. Fortunately I was also rebellious and took on a few, with a heavy helping of guilt of course.

I will live for today. I will live a good life, loving and helping those around me. Someday I'll be worm food and I don't want to lie dying wishing I had done more or taken a chance. My children will learn this as they get older.
