It makes me wonder so much. I get so many bewildered stares and sorrowful looks from those close to me when they discover that I think that God probably doesn't exist.
They think it is so sad. Many of them argue that I'll probably become a 'bad' person. If you read part of my blog, you'll see that some have even put forth the argument that I am the most unfriendly neighbor they know. While that may be true from his stand point, the truth is that I just don't sell out my friendship cheap. But that's a different story.
My point is, what if it were suddenly discovered and completely believed and understood beyond any measure that God didn't exist. At that point, each of those sorrowful people would have a very important decision to make. Having the understand that God doesn't exist, do you choose to act differently? Do you choose now to become less generous? Would you choose to remove charity and kindness to others from your character attributes?

I saw that Onion article too. It's too hilarious! It illustrates one of the many problems with taking the Bible too literally...

I had to share that Onion article on Facebook too. The title just cracks me up.

I have to agree. If you can't just laugh yourself silly, something is broken inside, and you should see a doctor.
Or maybe you've put your brain to bed from too many Elder's Quorum meetings.
