wow. even over a week later and off the meds this still feels really judgemental. did you mean it that way? from what i know of you i have a hard time believing you do, but this really hurts. i do not post these things by way of trying to change your idealogy, but by way of trying to communicate mine, and the richness i find in it. i also do not go to your journal and tell you about how i think atheism is sad and lonely and based on a false premise that everything in this world can be measured by hard, scientific data or some form of empirical evidence...because the truth is that i have never been an atheist, and so i don't know. if you respect the person i am, please try grant me the same respect - that you don't know my experience with faith and therefore cannot properly judge its validity. you don't have to agree. just please be nice about disagreeing.
