Passing Jugement

"I'm not so sure why people critisize each other. Eachother's beliefs, status in the world, looks..." he said to himself as straw fell near his feet. "All of us are just trying to live... I lost a tooth when I was five and so did everyone else."

More straw fell near his feet. His wrists were rubbed raw. They hurt.

"Who am I and who are you to judge someone else? I am you, you are me, we are they, and they are us."

The straw stopped falling near his feet. He could barely look up without beginning to choke... but he managed. The stars were bright tonight, shining into his eyes and through his body and spirit which made his soul. He felt warm inside... not the type of warmth that was about to consume him but a deep warmth that moved his soul to a state of understanding.

'There's no reason for this.' he thought as the man standing in front of him spoke to the conregation. 'All I want is to live as do you... is it simply that hard?'

The man dressed in white robes threw a torch onto the straw and the pile quickly grew into a blaze. With his neck tied to the post which was dug into the ground, he stared at the stars as the fire burned his skin. The group chanted and cheered.

He wouldn't scream... he wouldn't curse... he would die...

Without a word he perished in the flames with his eyes fixed on the stars until they too were consumed by the flames and he was but ashes.

40 Years Ago

Forty years ago an amazing person was killed. Shot while on the balcony of his own home.

This person changed the history of America and was one of the most influential people to ever speak in this nations history. He would be 79 now and, more than likely, still alive.

I just wanted to let you all know that Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man who deserves everyone’s respect for what he went through to secure freedom for minorities. Please remember and love this man and pay tribute to him in one way or another. He would love it!

Dear Loni

Hey Loni! This blog is answering your question so here it goes:

I completey agree with your comment. All four of those conclusions could be why someone would become an aetheist. I've met different people that seem to have turned to aetheism for at least one of those reasons.

I mainly wrote the blog for why there is a God although I only went into the one example about: "How can I believe something I don't understand?"

I probably could have expanded upon why someone would choose aetheism but I was in the mode! Ya know? But I completely agree with what you said though. All four of those are reasons for why someone would choose aetheism. The most experience I've had with an aetheist is with someone close to both you and me. I've heard this person's arguement and for the most part is that he doesn't understand the entire concept. But I can tell there are some disgruntled feelings about some of the people they've met in the church and the feeling of guilt they would have when they were told they were doing something wrong. The reason I believe those reasons is that they're not looking for answers. This person just wants to ask the question.
Maybe I assume too much but that's how I see this person's position. (I still love this person to death because they've been an amazing friend. Not trying to dis on him or anything.)

So mainly, in my last blog, I was just trying to explain why there was a God and should've gone into why people would believe this instead of just giving one reason. That was my bad. Anyway...

Thanks for the comment and be sure to tell me what you think about what I said. You're awesome Loni! Glad other people than family are reading... it makes me feel better about blogging. Hehe... I love your comments mom and Summer and I'm happy you all take time out of your day to read what I've written. It means a lot to me. Love you guys! :)
