Miss Blanche, I do appreciate your confidence that there is a God - not a Goddess or a whole committee of gods. I am sure the True Christians here appreciate that, too. Blind faith is very important for Salvation, and I envy yours. Which is a sin, too, but as an unbeliever I'm going to hell one way or another, so why not extend my rap sheet, right?

Personally, I find humans to be interesting, unique, and irreplaceable, and I will personally stand to protect them from any who may try to destroy them.

I deeply appreciate your commitment to destroy viruses, bacteria, fungi, predatory animals, and poisonous plants. We need more people like you!
However, what happens when you encounter a human who tries to destroy another human? How do you decide which side of the conflict is right and which one is wrong?

at least I'll have died doing what I loved, and will go to heaven, or if that happens to not be real, then a void of nothingness like an eternal sleep. I commend my soul to God and the winds of fate. Amen.

I admire your blind faith, but here is my worry: there are so many religions in the world - how do you know which one is right? What it you have bet on the wrong horse, and God hates your religion and sends you to Hell for following the wrong one?

You will fit right in with these godly folks here at Landover! That's exactly their position: that in order to be Saved, people need to believe the Bible, not the facts.
