The Letter . . .


. . . no, it'd not Sesame Street . . .





That "A" word, atheist, always scared me as a child.  I always felt sorry for people who did not believe in my 'God'.  But I guess I have to accept that if you don't believe in a 'theistic' invasive god, you MUST be an "A-THEIST".  So be it.  Maybe that's what I am. So where do these type-"A" people find hope? . . . many places . . .


(from http://ragingrev.com/2010/03/regarding-hope-the-atheists-view/)
". . . People give me hope daily. Sometimes people take some of my hope away, but when we make progress toward a brighter future it is renewed. When we do good things to one another or fight for causes we deem just, I am overwhelmed by hope. When one of us spends his or her life’s work on developing cures for diseases and cancers it gives me hope that we care about one another, and that if we keep doing so eventually we’ll get to our next step toward a society that can be considered appropriate.

I have a hope that one day our species will find a way to cope with the problems of life without a need for religion and that also one day there will be social justice for all people. I have hope that at some point in the near future that technology will be developed that can provide nutritious food for all people and that we will use that technology to actually feed people. In the idea that our prejudices and our failures will one day be forgotten. . . "
