A letter from someone on atheism:

In my opinion, you might as well pray to the wall. When you need something to lean on, it's there! If you're tired, just rest for a bit against it, it's there! And more than likely, wherever you may go... guess what? It's there! Comforting, isn't it? Oh, but wait. You say that's silly? Why would you pray to a wall? You know, that's a good point. Why would you? After all, it's actually easy to prove that it exists. Instead of some formless manifestation of righteousness that we (and when I say "we" I sure exclude me) have concocted to make ourselves feel better about death. There it is, the word everyone is so afraid of. Death. Why can't the masses agree that the real reason they have chosen this self-delusional path is because when they die, they're assured of some other form of life?
Well...there's always the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
