God is eating with sinners and
despised ones, God is liberating captives, God is beauty
for ashes and joy
for mourning, God is streams in the desert, God is manna from heaven, God is born of a teenager in a town no one revered, God is being whipped, God is being crucified, God is dying, God is buried, God is alive, alive, alive, resolutely frustratingly miraculously alive because
everything is being restored and redeemed and resurrected and renewed.
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.
