Things that affirm my atheism

17. Yeah. Those good times do seem long ago and far away.

I remember being at "Melody Land" in California with people of all faiths at a conference to find ways to share and get along without worrying about all the intricacies of who is right or wrong about what. It was powerful.

I guess if I had been at the inauguration for Biden, it might have been a similar strength, though the fear factor of having passed Jan 6th was worse than most shade Christians threw at each other.

But people coming together with purpose and setting aside their differences is a deep part of America, so my hopes and prayers are for that kind of camaraderie to happen again somehow when we put the illegal and unethical crazy away and get back to just being people who live in the same world and do our own thing.


But being a practical person, I know faith and prayers only go so far. As they say, God helps those who help themselves and we have free will for a reason. God isn't going to live our life for us, we got to do that ourselves.

So hope, and then do what needs to be done to make the world a better place.

Step One, VOTE.
