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.
