| I don't quite understand the fear that drives some to rail against the faith of others.
I am Christian. I don't ask God for things because I don't see God as a genie who is in the business of making wishes come true. I ask for strength, for patience, for wisdom and I believe I find those things in my faith and those things are sufficient to get us through most of our trials.
I suppose in the realm of possibilities there is a chance that God doesn't exist. I don't believe it, but I suppose the possibility is there. If that is true, and when I die it is just lights out, the end, then I really haven't hurt myself or anyone else by trying to live a good life by an established set of morals. I suppose the joke will have been on me. But if I die, and find myself in a place of judgement, then the joke will be on....well...you know who the joke will be on.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. |
