I'm Atheist. There- I said it. But do you know what that really means? When people find out or when I tell them, they look at me like I am a satan worshipper. Or like I am a horrible person. It doesn't mean I am a horrible person. It simply means I bekive in no afterlife. No god. No devil."Why are you this way? Are you mad at god? Are you tying to rebel?" My religious friends always ask me that.It gets a little annoying sometimes , but I try not to show it. I am this way because it is what I believe. I'm not mad at anyone- it's just what I believe to be true. And please don't bash on my religion. I don't bash on yours :)It's okay to be different.

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don&rsquo;t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you&rsquo;re hurting, even if it&rsquo;s just when you&rsquo;re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can&rsquo;t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it&rsquo;s hard to see.

Some say the world will end in fire,<br /> Some say in ice.<br /> From what I&#039;ve tasted of desire<br /> I hold with those who favor fire.<br /> But if it had to perish twice,<br /> I think I know enough of hate<br /> To say that for destruction ice<br /> Is also great<br /> And would suffice. <br /> -RF
