Good evening ladies and gentleman.
I'll just say a few phrases and then be gone. I do not intend to troll or bring you discomfort. I have been baptised but I do not see myself as a Christian therefore from your point of view I am doomed and all the words I say are evil. I suggest that kids and week of heart stop reading now, since I wish neither to taint your belief in one true Lord nor agitate you in any way.
What I want to do, is to Thank you.
So let me say it loud: Thank you!
Thank you for what you've given me. In the rest of this short thank you post I will refrain from giving any arguments, I'll just go through the things you've given me and things I want to thank you for. I do not wish to change your opinions and I gently ask you do not try to change mine, because you cannot change a man's opinion without him wishing for a change. I am not a troll and I didn't come here to argue.
Now, for the last few days I've read though this forum, sometimes seriously listening, sometimes staring in disbelief. But you've shown me much. You've shown me, there are still people with strong convictions in the world. People not afraid to stand up for what the belive in. I was quite amazed by the shear number of your members and by the fact that so many people can live chastilly in this world full of hatred, sex, degradation of human beings and other evil things, that you can live knowing of their existence and still feel pure, still look up, to the creator and the after-life. I was quite surprised to see that even in the world where medias never stop bombarding us with suggestions how to be more sexually atractive to everyone around us, in the world were most people in "civilised countries" start engaging in sexual intercourse before they turn 15, there are still people willing to live in celibacy, young adults in puberty who are willing to abstain from masturbation and elevate themselves from the animal instincts that tell them to do so.
I may not belive as you do, but I respect and aplaud you. In certain cases I am not sure, if you are giving your members a free choice of will and present a different point of view but that is your way and I respect you for it. I'm sure that whatever I say won't change your opinion of me, and I don't mind, because it is not important how you think off me. The important thing is your gift. Your gift of true Faith, of trying to achieve true love, to create a healthy familly, to raise a child believing in Good. To live your life with a meaning.
When an atheist is dying he's dying in fear. Second guessing his decision, fearing that he led a meaningless life. But you, I'm sure of it, leave your mortal shell knowing that you led a rightfull life in His name and that Heaven awaits you. If more people were like you, the world would be a much healthier place filled with better people living better lives. And once again for this I thank you. All those trolls and all those that attack you forget one thing. Even if you were completely wrong in every single thing you belive in, it wouldn't change a thing about the fact that you lived a good life, you lived it to the full, you prooved that you can live a chaste and proper life even in this angry and corrupting world and you died with love, joy and satisfaction filling your heart. Which is something the atheists will never get.
What you've given to me personally is a different point of view to look at things and judge things. That doesn't mean that I belive computer games, or making love without a proper ceremony to be wrong, just that I will keep in mind that even the things I take for granted as good, may not be so. You've shown me a different view on the world and civilization. I would gladly learn more of your beliefs and of the joys and happines of your heart and I would weep for your misfortunes and the cheer you in the Trials that the Lord gives you in life in order for you to overcome them with a head held high and with your faith ever stronger. Sadly I'm afraid this cannot be. While I can listen to you, and respect you, you cannot do the same for me, cause I'm not of your Faith and therefor doomed. Nonetheless, you've given me a lot of gifts to meditate upon and I thank you for these gifts in the spirit in which they were given.
I would like to especially aplaud to those of you that came to the Lord later in your life. Those of you who had a difficult journey, who had to stumble and fall, only to rise and clean yourself from all the sins. I wish that one day I will become as clean and pure as you are. But sadly, for me it must be the hard way. Facing my fears andmy less-honorable doings alone, without the Lord next to me, to be my guide and my shield. But you've given me a hope that it can be done. You're not the only one who has shown me it can be done, but maybe because of your radical opinions and strong beliefs, you've made it all the more apparent. I hope that if there is afterlife and if it is a place where good souls meet, even if they belive in different things, that we can meet there and sing a cheerfull song to the creation a song about love as deep as the ocean, joy as colourfull as the spring, about beauty of the Earth and all things on it and about peace and calm that befalls those that are content.
I wish I had something for you in return of the gifts you've given me. But all I have is a simple thank you. And if you ever meet a beggar by the road who is laughing like a madman and looking at the stars like a fool, but who's eyes are clear and see you for who you are, share a prayer and maybe you will see that as much as it changes me, it changes you as well.
So Thank you and goodbye. And I really hope I haven't offended you. What I wanted to do, and why I even registered this account was to thank you for what you did to me. And to remind you, that if you stare in the abbyss for too long the abbyss stares back. And it may change you and harden you in ways that you don't want to.
