Atheism offers nothing to me, it never has
and never will, it doesn't make me feel good or comfort me, it's not there for me when I'm sick or ill, it won't intervene in my
times of need or protect me from hate, it doesn't care if I fail or succeed, it won't wipe the tears from my
eyes, it does nothing when I have no where to run, it won't give me wise words or advice, it has no teaches for me to learn, it can't show me what's bad or nice, it's never inspired or excited anyone, it won't help me fulfill all my goals, it won't tell me to stop when I'm having fun, it's never saved one single soul, it doesn't take credit for everything I achieve, it won't make me get down on bended knee, it doesn't demand that I have to believe, it won't torture me for
eternity, it won't teach me to hate or despise others, it won't tell me what's right or wrong, it can't tell nobody not to be lovers, it's told no one they don't belong, it won't make you think life is worth living, it has nothing to offer me, that's true, but the reason Atheism offers me nothing is because I've never asked it to, Atheism offers nothing because it doesn't need to, Religion promises everything because you want it to, You don't need a Religion or to have faith, You just want it because you need to feel safe, I want to feel reality
and nothing more, Atheism offers me everything that Religion has stolen before.
He turned his
eyes away from the ungovernable, essentially inconceivable flow of
time,
and so away from the very process by which being shows itself,
and looked instead toward a fabulous
eternity of changeless essences, the timeless «ideas» or (more literally) «looks» of things;
and it was to this latter realm that he accorded the authority of «truth» while consigning everything proper to
time to the sub-philosophical category of «unlikeness.»
