If I were an atheist

If I were an atheist I would:

Stare in awe and wonder at the stars - and be very satisified that the laws of nature permitted me a few short years to live and soak it in.

Wonder if my life had any meaning or purpose

Acknowledge that there is evil and good in the world

Acknowledge that there is something that places humans a bit higher in the reasoning and logic and intelligence pecking order than other creatures on this planet

Wonder how many of the billions and billions of stars and planets were populated with living things - and if any of them were humanoid.

I would be patient with those who in their weakness relied upon an arcane and ancient belief system - because it just helps them get through their lives.

I would wonder and acknowledge all the same things.

I would also wonder why He made this so hard to figure out.
