Isn't it Ironic...

I was just think about how Atheists and Christians both have to have a strong belief system to believe what they believe. I doubt Atheists like to think about that fact, but it's true.

I once heard an Atheist say, "There is no reason to think anything happens after you die other than you simply not existing anymore. The belief in an afterlife relies on things at play that we do not and have not observed in the world and therefore requires an added element of faith." My reply to that is, "Of course the after-effect of death from the deceased's point of view is not something we have observed in the world either. It requires just as much faith to believe you simply disappear into the ether as it does to believe you go somewhere else." It's funny thinking about that. At least Agnostics admit to having no idea on whats going to happen. I've had many atheists tell me I'm stupid for believing in the after-life when not believing in it is just as hard to do. Its the Universal Stalemate. Faith in nothing vs Faith in Christ.

I used to think, "Its nice to know who the winner is." But now I just think of how sad that really is. Christians and lost souls argue over different religious principles everyday and we both think we're so correct. I'm glad I won't know who has gone/ will go to hell; I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Lord, help them.

Well I know this is sort of short but I'm pretty tired so...

Happy Belated New Years and God Bless you,
