To Those Who Believe in God

What's that I hear? Could it be your spiritual crutch clacking as it supports your hobbled soul through life?

Purpose is what drives humanity. Societies rise and fall based on it. Once we no longer believe there is a reason to be we lose all hope and crumble back into the dust from whence we came.

Religion is man's way of creating the ultimate purpose as to the why and to give us drive to carry on despite what reality throws at us. But it is nothing more than one purpose among many.

Me, I believe Life may have been an accident, but a glorious accident indeed. It is our unique status, our shimmering spiritual being in this vast, black void, that makes us so special. Rather than to make ourselves slaves and puppets to some vague, illusory being why do we not embrace one another as the brothers and sisters that we are and, through a united front, spread life through the dark void; give brilliance to the abyss.

I will never believe in God. For a being to create evil, pain, and death and to claim they are for the best is nothing more than sadism, elitism, and the ultimate hypocrisy when it comes to love and being a creator.

We are a spark from which a glorious fire may rise, a torch of civilization and realization we may carry through the cosmos. Realize that and truly understand the meaning of being.
