A supreme, fearful being

I saw this on Farcebook recently.

It makes a mockery of the religion I was brought up adoring. Believing. Trusting in. Living by.

Now, I am an atheist. I believe in NO gawd. I am of the belief that to each his or her own. This is MY belief. If there's a Hell, and I burn in it, then knock yourselves silly.

I was baptized. I was an altar boy. An RC priest, rightly so, was and is still a significant person in my life. He left the priesthood to get married and have a family. Good for him. He had the courage to do what he WANTED to do.

Not what a book told him.

I started NOT to believe in a deity as a teen, when I realized that the all-knowing, all-seeing gawd I had been taught about in fact WASN'T going to do any of the things I expected of him. So I did those things myself.

Over time, I grew to do virtually everything in my life myself.

Instead of relying on or being guided by some fictional being for whom there was no proof, no documented sightings, like Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, unicorn or other creatures of lore, and a being that purportedly could walk on water and part seas, I increasingly questioned things.

Eventually, I came to the only logical conclusion there was. No gawd. No bible. A big hoax. A belief system without merit, without a shred of truth.

I looked and continue to look at things in my life, in other lives. I look at world events. Logic dictates, for me, that there IS no gawd, no intervening factor, no all-knowing deity who is suddenly going to fix things.

It is like calling the plumber to fix a leak, and the plumber never coming.
