In this time of the birth of Jesus Christ, we get together with our family and friends, exchange gifts, and wish each other well. This is all that I really have left. The meaning of Christmas was lost long ago, as I simply no longer believe in any religion. I believe in some kind of higher power, but not a god, or a son of god. I have found that the bible simply does not answer the questions that I have, it simply covers up facts with uneducated half truths. Early man simply did not understand the world, religion simply exist to to ease us as we come closer to death, it tells us that there is a rainbow on the other side. I have seen no evidence of any god, nor have I seen any real good coming from any religion.
We all have to sleep at night, it is easier to think if we die before we wake, that some happy place awaits. All I have seen from religion is greed, and perversion, and faith based on forgiveness of sins. I simply cannot believe in a god that forgives so easily.
If you ask me to pray for something, or someone, all I have to offer is a happy thought and hope. That is all I have left to offer.
