Atheism Inside: Powered by Logic and Reason

People tend to forget; people can be racist to Atheists too. I'm sick of being ridiculed because of my religious views. Just because I don't believe in God or any religion, doesn't mean that my views aren't worth anything.

Mum told me to behave myself whenever I go to anything remotely religious: sometimes I can be a little too, err, open about my thoughts. I'm getting good at "behaving myself" - I don't even flinch at religious talk now.

RS lessons are a little painful, though. As you would expect. We shouldn't hav to take it. It's a waste of my time.

"Do you see, Arren, how an act is not, as young men think, like a rock that one picks up and throws, and it hits or misses, and that's the end of it. When the rock is liften the earth is lighter, the hand that bears it heavier. When it is thrown the circuits of the stars respond, and where it strikes or falls the universe is changed. On every act the balance of the whole depends. The wind and seas, the powers of water and earth and light, all that these do, and all that the beasts and green things do, is well done and rightly done. All these act within the Equilibrium. From the hurricane and the great whale's sounding to the fall of a dry leaf and the gnat's flight, all they do is done within the balance of the whole. But we, in so far as we have power over the world and over one another, we must learn to do what the lead and the whale and the wind do of their own nature. We must learn to keep the balance. Having intelligence, we must not act in ignorance. Having choice, we must not act without responsibility. Who am I - though I have the power to do it - to punish and reward, play with men's destinies?" SPARROWHAWK, "THE EARTHSEA TRILOGY: THE FARTHEST SHORE"
