Tolerance: The capacity for or the practice of recognizing and respecting the beliefs or practices of others.
Since you people are sucking me dry to the bone, Ill leave you with this. Keep it to yourself if youre capable. Your only answer seems to be that you dont have one. Why then take that away from someone who does especially if you believe you have the power to do so? Honestly view what atheism is about. Lets consider you were right and that the whole of human existence up to this point has been lying to itself concerning a creator. Is it not a beautiful lie? Does it not fuel so much virtue and love in this world? If Christ did come back tomorrow would you slap him in the face and say youre a liar!? All religion, all faiths are about a return to companionship, a celebration and gratitude for life. And who could we thank for living if not our creator? What you ask is too hard to accept. It would be like asking a person to leave their mother, deny she existed and helped raise and nurture them to be who they are today. Search your heart. You all seem to be very intelligent but dont use that intelligence to kill the heart of others. That is in fact what you do. Faith is a strong thing, but its tested enough by our god that we dont need the added pressure of people who are supposed to be helping one another. I can tell most of you are good people just by the way you speak and that youre honestly looking to understand things. Please try if you can to understand people, the weakest of us, the least rational of us and that were all just trying to get by the best we can. Dont think you empower those you convince that god doesnt exist, in the end you only really set them down another course. Theres multiplicity in defining a singular truth; we're all just looking at different sides of the same coin. Youre no different from all the religions of the world, its just that you havent got a mother. I hope one day you find her and find her to be warm and life giving, not so cold and sterile as logic. Words do not define life, nor will they ever, they are merely an expression of it. If all of life, all of existence and god could be summed up in a sentence what sort of god would that be? If you want the answer then here it is, E=mc2. There, are you happy? Good, I hope so, I want you to be happy. Take care.
