gwhen i feel like my belifes are being judged as close minded i will argue. maybe seem like defending and maybe it is. no matter if you mean me in particular. because i have many friends who i feel they are talking about. but to me its worth defending. tell a very christian person at ur school that christian people are close minded and see if an argument is started. atheism is my belief. it may not be right but with how i personally veiw things i think i am right. i could deny the shit out of it and act christian or agnostic but im not. my brother is an example of this. hes agnostic, he dosnt know it. i know hes not ready to be atheist if he ever will be, but he IS agnostic. just like i cant convert a true bealiever in the christian faith to an athiest. no matter what i say. the only way they could change is if they doubted it themselves. i am ben bowden i am not close minded and i have never meet a atheist who is (but there probbably are) and if i did i would give him/her a peice of my mind because that is like a black racist. they deal out the shit they get and set things back. over all the sterotypes atheists get, devil worshipers, sinners, hateful people, close minded is absurd in my mind. the entire atheist idea is thinking differently then others. and most atheists because it is not taught to them in a young age have grown to discover this opinion on life. in my days i have changed my veiws on many things including anarchy but not atheism. If i am close minded then agnostics are just confused people who have no idea what they want and wander through life. but thats not true. agnostics ive met are not confused at all. to say atheism is close minded is being vague and is just like says same sex marriages are indecent in the sense that your veiws on a group of people have to be correct. sterotypes anger me and it feels that calling atheism close minded is a sterotype because i strongly bealieve it takes a higher plane of thinking and to think without fear of what if im wrong ill go to hell anyone who can express their veiws and listen to others in a clam manner (not talking about close minded but about other religions) some one like that to me cant be close minded cant be close minded. i have had countless conversations with my friend dishawn about christianity and he has ever come to our skeptic soceity to try to understand our point of veiw and it gave us an opposition. if we dont look at others ideals then we are no better then a cult pure and simple. and michelle this isnt just to you. this is to people at my school too this is to my family and this is to anyone who said i was a devil worshiper and i screamed at them instead of stateing they were just misinformed this is also an apologie for all those i hated and screamed at when i was agnostic and confused they didnt understand so i lashed out. im human. but now i want more then that i want to not debate but understand everyones veiws. i think sgnostics are great people who have great veiws but i cant be indecisive in that way with my veiws to me either something exsits or not. but agnostics to me are like at least they arnt being sheep. those are the only ones i cant stand they arnt christian because they really dont bealieve. they just fear. they fear what would happen if they wernt christian so they live their lives thinking there probbly isnt a god but just in case im calling myself christians. to me any god who would sentence someone to eturnal damnation for being confused when theres over 1000 different forms of christianity is a god i dont want to worship anyways. if he is all merciful he will understand if ur agnostic right? well im atheist to me it doesnt matter because i feel there isnt one. but if you do i envy you. i truly do for i have hoped so many times that i could just bealieve. but i dont. i wish i knew he was alive i wish i thought he was alive i wish i had a shread of a doubt upon his exsistance, but alas i dont. to me he is nothing
