Subject: Practicing Atheists

Now love, this is a big one for me. And I mean love in the sense of 'love thy neighbour'... When I was a teen, I read a quote. It was something along the lines of 'love is when you feel someone else's hunger in your own stomach.' It means that if you love others, you will feel their pain, in other words, empathise with them. I'm a big empath, and that might just be because of my personality type. I just can not cause harm to another being... I feel love (and pain) for others, deep in my heart, soul and bones.

Another big thing for me, is the sense of right and wrong. Rules and laws give us a general guideline from a young age, a basis to develop upon. There are no rules or laws that say we have to help a little old lady across a busy road, but we do it because it's the right thing to do. Just because I'm an atheist, doesn't mean that I am not a good person, I know what is wrong and right, according to society. And I also know what is wrong and right in my heart... And I feel this in my soul and bones as well. * +

So god and faith in him/her/it, is something that I do not feel. I do not feel that there is a higher power. I do not feel it watching over me or anyone else. I do not feel it protecting me. I do not feel that it cares for me or provides for me. I just do not feel it. At all. Ever.

But it's okay with me if other people do. I respect that.

I do not, however, respect parrots, sheep and hippopotamuses (hypocrites). I don't respect people preaching stuff when they don't know what they are talking about. I don't respect people who blindly follow and regurgitate everything they hear without thinking about it. And I don't respect those who believe 'just in case', that's not truly believing. But hippos are the worst, it drives me absolutely crazy when I hear known christians judge other people, and I find christians to be the most judgemental of all. Yet they love preaching that only god can judge, and to love thy neighbour. How can someone love others if they judge them? * +
