Why pursue an angry future
As a faith-based person, I often wonder why people would pursue a line of reasoning that leads, most often, to an angry existence.
It seems to me, in my personal experience and as reflected in these letters, that the farther one moves away in a faith in a Higher Power, the angrier one becomes.
Oh, I'm sure you're the exception. You're the peaceful Athiest. I know.
That's why you won't flame me for saying most seem angry.
I can certainly understand. If I believed life was random and had no real meaning beyond copulation, mutation and regurgitation, I'd be pretty angry too.
But here's the thing... I've read about science, just as you have, I've read philosophy, and most of the major books on religion, and evolution, and all that...
But my faith in a God who cares and who created Life not only gives me a deep and abiding understanding and love of humanity, including you, it gives me peace.
What, pray tell, does a non-belief, or a religion based on science, offer you in the way of peace?
