wixomwizard: I try to be truthful, would love to be righteous and yes I am ashamed. I have hope and am taking it lightly and for granted. A Athiest has no hope at all. The difference between the two is one is forgiven for the wrongs of his life because he asks for foregiveness, the other is not because he is arrogant and prideful and is doomed to stay that way because he see's no need for change in his life.
Im sorry but there is a grave misconception about so called atheists.
I reject the church not Jesus.
If I done somebody wrong I ask him or her for forgiveness.
I can change.
I have hope and not only that I fight for peace every day of my life.
I have no pride its a precarious thing and has done more wrong then right.
I do have honor.
I better myself each day so I change each day.
But I wont be ashamed of what my neighbors do wrong,it's not in my hands.
Remember there was a time we were shameless and 'god' wants us to return do that state of mind.
