Blake asked:

So what if I don't believe in God?

Does that make me a sinner or no longer a soldier of "God's army"? ... Coz I don't really give a f***!!
... It's all bullshit anyway!!

============

You might not believe in God but you do f*** care or you wouldn't be so concerned as to write in this
language or even to express yourself at all and ask a question! This sounds like a case of rebellion
rather than disbelief! But you needn't worry about it because surely the best God loves and forgives
everyone.

You sound like someone in the throes of a crisis, and I sympathize. Ask yourself, which god are you
rejecting? Kali? Thor? Zeus? Buddha? Yahweh? Allah? Shall I go on...and on? Humanity's history is
full of various gods, goddesses, demi-gods, and so on, all of whom have had (and still in many cases
have) zealous followers. These followers state categorically that theirgod is the onlytrue god, and all
the rest are false. It must be nice to have the key to the universe. As for myself, I don't claim to have
that key, and I doubt that any being, past or present, has. I gather that I have my choice of hells: the
Christian hell, the Mohammedan hell, the Norse hell, the Greek hell...they're all waiting for me, since
I'm an atheist. How do you think they'll divide my time in the afterlife (which I don't believe in)? But
wait...only oneof those is the realafterlife/ Shall I flip a coin?
