Hum.

You start out by saying “Whoever LOVES God must also LOVE his brother. 1 John 4:21“

Then you go on to make some rather rash generalizations about all non-believers, stating that Atheists lead an empty and useless existence. Generalize much?

I do not personally believe in a supreme being, in God or in any Gods for that matter or go to church so I guess that makes me an atheist. I don’t refer to myself as an Atheist however as I think a number of them act like jerks. While I do not believe, I have absolutely interest in telling you that you shouldn’t. I have in fact stood up for the rights of believers.

I once got personally involved in a situation then the manager of a senior apartment building where my father lived, owned by Catholic Charities BTW, but receiving HUD money, told the residents that they couldn’t hang “overtly religious” Christmas wreaths on their front doors and where prohibited from saying “Merry Christmas” to each other in the common areas of the building as it might be “offensive” and because of her interpretation of HUD rules or some other such nonsense.

After speaking with my dad and several other residents who confirmed that this woman had actually told them this, I called the manger, who refused to take my calls, then I called the Archdiocese who blew me off, and then I called a local conservative and Catholic talk radio host and me and my dad were both interviewed on air about the gross violation of their First Amendment Rights and blew the lid off the story. Long story short the apartment manager was fired as she should have been.

I’ll have you know that I live a very useful and meaningful life. I have a good job and pay my way and my taxes. I deeply love and am very close with my family and have the love of my family and close friends as well. When I went through a bad time financially a few years ago, they stood by me and supported me as I have often done for many of them in the past. I am the type of person who will drop what I’m doing in a heartbeat whenever any of my family or close friends need me. I’ve also come to the aid of complete strangers without asking for anything in return.

I am conservative, I am pro-life, I support the military and believe in the Constitution as written by the Founders of our great nation. I place my hand over my heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and get teary eyed when I hear the Star Spangled Banner.

As far as the Ten Commandments, I have never committed murder, lied nor do I bear false witness against my neighbor or anyone for that matter, nor have I ever stole or committed adultery. I don’t even curse but on rare occasions and I don’t covet my neighbors possessions.

For someone with supposedly no morals, I live a pretty moral and happy life.
