Gerard Reminds Us: “If You Don’t Believe in Anything . . .
November 10, 2009
you’ll die for nothing at all.”
Atheistic chic.
(Yes, some of my best friends / closest family members are atheists, but they are not the angry, bitter types who clearly believe in God but are manifestly angry at Him. Nor are they these label-happy, announce-it-to-the-world sort, who tend to be so freakin’ boring. They are just normal agnostics and normal atheists who have trouble with organized religion, and that’s not so unusual. The only thing I don’t like is when someone is going through a hard time, and my mom isn’t willing to pray, so she volunteers that I will do so, without asking me first. It’s amazing, but she really does that. I’m the believer in the family, so it’s my job to do the praying, see? It’s my bailiwick.)

So, in effect, you’re the “Get out of Hell Free” card.
Embrace it and use it to your advantage.

My 6th great grandfather was a baptist preacher. With his cred, I figure I won’t have any serious issues if there really is a God.

Helian: Or, maybe not. God has no grandchildren; everyone relies on his own ‘cred’ to get into Heaven.
Of course, seeing as this is a Pass/Fail exam, and Pass is defined as scoring 100%, and that nobody ever did get 100% except Jesus, that’s kinda hard.
But then, God allows us to ‘borrow’ Jesus’ score as our own. Which is pretty cool.
Assuming you believe in Jesus and His perfect score and all that goes along with it, of course.
