a letter from your ordinary, quiet girl

uhm.

dear atheists,

look, i know that many of you is highly educated. you think a lot of things, yes. you try to match every phenomenons with logics and theories. and as you do so, you begin to question the relevance of God in our lives. and maybe you find God has nothing to do with this world. He is not creator; big bang theory can explain the creation of our Earth. He does not create humans; humans evolve from chimpanzees, at least that's what Darwin taught us. and there's your bio-genesis theory, explaining the origin of all living organisms. let's give applause for those people and their intelligence, shall we? thank you, scientists, for finding out those wonderful theories.
as for our lives, there's no explaining why we got our good and bad lucks, wonderful and terrible fates, right? it's just happening without us knowing why. and yeah... it's likely that we will have good things happening to us if we work hard and we have luck, and vice versa.
i still remember one of my friend said this to me: every man has to have something to believe in. oh wait, you believe in science? fellas, i do too. i believe in all things that make sense, i believe in all things that is scientifically proven. but you know, i also believe in Him, as all about Him is written in Holy Bible (i'm a Christian). to think about it, i don't even know what makes me believe in Him. maybe because my parents raise me that way? or maybe because believing God is ideal, they say? i don't know, but i keep believing in Him and His grace. i believe that life, world, galaxies, all phenomenons, things happened daily--all of it is controlled by something, and that thing has to be God. i believe that even those scientists can think about all those theories because God wanted them to.
i'm not a good disciple--not even close. i know sin will send me to hell, yet i still sin. nevertheless, i still need something to hold on and to believe in. don't you need one?
believing God would do no harm to you, so chillax. you won't lose anything even if in the end He does not exist. at least that's what your scientist, Pascal, said.

dear extremist who despise atheists,

why don't we make the world a better place by stopping judging atheists. after all every man has his own belief, and they occurred to believe in only science. but you people, i think you are delusional if you only think and act according to what's written in your religion holy guidebooks and, what's worse, God Himself.
first of all, just because a man does not believe in God doesn't mean he deserves all disgraces to happen upon them. after all God is something man made to ease all their curiosity and insecurity about hollowness left before they create a concept of God (at least this is what i know). it's man-made.
and believing God alone does not make you better of a human than an atheist is. remember, faith without action is death. what's the point of praising God if you still curse everyone who does bad to you? what's the point of saying God's name if you spread hatred towards everyone around you?
remember, they not believing God does not have anything to do with you. after all that's why it's called belief. let us make peace not war, let us spread love not hate. let's open up our mind and be anything but a bigot. let's tolerate difference more.
