I don't believe in non believers


What's The Point?

To believe there is nothing more
than this life
when its oer

Is to believe that you are
at most
an empty jar

Of what value is your existence
not in present
or past tense

Future is a waste of time
hope a joke
joy a crime

Why be?
Why stay?
If there's nothing more, just end the play.

Some of you get it. I do believe that without a belief in God it will become very difficult at some point to find a reason to live. We must live for more than ourselves because even the most narcissistic will eventually deplete themselves.

I don't find anything especially depressing about materialism. As for "ending the play," why bother? Life can't meaningfully be distinguished from death.

The point of life is living it well, day by day, trying not to hurt others or do harm. To reach for some happiness and try to give some. To deal with people with kindness and tolerance and understanding. I believe in treating our planet with care so that others will enjoy it like we have. There is so much to believe in right here in this world. I respect your views and you wrote a lovely poem about what you believe.

Instead of reading a text with instructions I will choose to believe that what you are actually saying is that without God and the promises he gave inside the bible you would have no reason to live because you find this life to be meaningless, hard to deal with but the future cannot be predicted and should not be predicted but what we can know ahead of time is the outcome of our actions before we even act but then again we would base our conclusion on the fixed ideas we have and who can say that I am and can be 100% clear-headed?

I have a friend that the only thing that can help her sleep at night is the end of days that one day she will wake up in a better world after the death of the unworthy ones and until then she just tries to survive this life and dream how her life will be after the end of the days that's what keeps her alive and the fact that suicide is a sin.

I choose to believe that everyday is my first day of life because every moment I learn something new understand something better see the world with new eyes I transform to better or to worse? Only time can tell:) I also try to help others and help make the world a better place to live in. Some need more time to learn from life perhaps become a better person. Some need to go to church 3 times a week in order to keep in touch and renew their faith to God but that doesn't look like they walk with God. But hey what does it means to walk with God?

Yeah we could talk for hours I believe that it is better to show what it means to be you by being you instead of judging while seemingly walking on someone else's shoes AND *waves white flag* please don't shoot:D

One could say that even atheists believe in atheism :)

Truly, delving into the complexity and wonder of human existence, there must be more than this! A pleasure, as always. 😊
