Some few thoughts to ponder before you attend church.
RE-POST BUT PERTINENT
It is
understandable if a person wants to identify themself by their belief in a religion,
a church, a political party, an ethnicity…; but it absolutely makes no sense
that you would feel the need to identify yourself by what you do not believe.
I do not
believe in vampires, werewolves, zombies, big foot, fairies, alien autopsies,
ghost or things that go bump in the night.
I do not
believe that the world is flat or that the sun rotes around the earth.
I do not
believe that dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time
I do not
believe that a snake whispered to a woman who ate an apple which brought sin
into the world.
I do not
believe that a six-hundred-year-old man and his hundred-year-old sons built a
boat and sailed on a flood that mixed the world’s salt water and fresh water,
carrying two of every animal on earth, and that upon landing a kangaroo hopped
twelve thousand miles across three continents to go home to Australia.
I do not
believe that a child was born to a virgin.
I do not
believe in devils and demons and angles and gods, or in a physical heaven or
hell.
I do not
believe a man god walked on water, or that a brutal human sacrifice was
performed to ‘take away the sins of the world.’
The name Atheist is a religious term that
supposes the legitimizing of religious beliefs and proposes to delegitimize
anyone that doesn’t accept the fairy tale.
If you feel
the need to attach a name to me to identify what I don’t believe, you
might just call me sane – I can live
with that.

Those memes are all very true. Sad, but true.
