I'm not sure whether to tell you my emidiate feeling when I meet an Athiest, because it's probably the most patronising, horrible thing for me to feel in their eyes, but I honestly can't help how I feel. Please don't kill me, because I AM awear that the stuff I say can sound patronising, I just don't know how else to say it... If I ask you for one thing it's that you DON'T read this trying to look for an argument, or for fault, or to oppose it completely - but that you have an open mind.

I don't want to convert you. You have free will for a reason and you've chosen not to believe - but I want you to listen to what I have to say because sometimes I go on this forum and all you do is close up to anyone who tries to tell you something different. (generally, not all of you)

Okay. Kill me - but, when I meet an Athiest, I feel sorry for them. Pity. Which I know is bad, because some of my best friends are Athiests.

But if you'd just look at it from the point of view of someone who genuinely cries to her Lord and who asks for his help and prays to him. When he is the only person i talk to and find stregnth from and look for happiness in and who honestly doesn't care if her friends laugh at her for it, or if people persecute her for it, because she know he'll always be there for her and that he'll always look after her - I can't imagine how you stay strong when you get down, or how you don't jump off a building when you go through the lowest of the low points in life, like I wanted to. I feel sorry for you, because I'm always gonna want to tell you that someone's there and someone's listening and that you can pray and he will hear you. And I'll tell you that knowing you won't believe me.

God doesn't drop out of the sky and give you signs. You won't know he's there until you take a leap and put your belief in him. If you pray and ask for something like strength, or happiness, or a pony... Do you think he'll magic one up for you?

OR that he'll give you the oppertunity to be strong (which means hardship), or the oppertunity to be happy (which means getting through the sad), or the oppertunity to get the money and save up and work for something that you want (most people don't ACTUALLY want the Pony that much)- hehe.

I never feel alone. And although I've said I dn't want to convert you, I never want you, anyone, to ever feel alone.

To believe in God, you don't need a religion. You can believe in EVERYTHING science tells you. Because if you believe science has all the answers, then it almost backs up that God exists - because know one's ever proved he doesn't.

If I've offended you, or you want to tell me I'm stupid, and that you'll never believe in anything other than this world - that's fine. I can live with that. I guess I'm saying that I find it hard to think you can.

I never want someone to prove God exsists. Because then, no one would need to have Faith. And if it's one thing I love and need with all my soul - It's Faith.
