    The common view of an atheist is someone who not only does not believe in God, but is also a person who lacks warmth and caring. This is definitely not true. I have several friends who are atheists, and while I don't share their beliefs, I have found them to be extremely sensitive and loving individuals. They do not believe in prayer, of course, since they have no object of that prayer. They do believe in what they call "white light", which is a type of benevolence bestowed upon people who are ill or having extreme problems. When these atheists send "white light", to you, it's the same as praying for your health, safety or welfare. I've got to give them credit for that. However, what they don't know is that the feelings of love and compassion they have, are (excuse me) God given!

    Well, here's another of my bromides -- I seem to have one to fit just about every occasion: "I'd rather live my life as though there were a God, and then die to find out there were not, than to live my life as though there were not a God, and find out after death that there was." Think about that one.
