I remember the first time I heard your voice. I can still remember telling you how soothing I found it, how much it calmed me. It still does, even though you are silent, but your words are still very much alive in me. You are my home, even though the door is locked and the lights are off. It is not a choice as much as a beautiful nagging that is nearly impossible to ignore. But I am locked out, left to wander, and I have found myself here. I know I left in a childish fit, and you locked the iron gate so tightly; you had to. Therefore I was left out in the darkness, just me and the shadows that haunted me, the ones that led me away from you to begin with. You left me outside to face them. You would not let me lean on you to deal with them anymore. You are my home because you are the place I choose to return to over and over again. The place that, even it's painful, means the most.

Yet I know that I am immensely comfortable with him. Is it because at most I consider him as my best friend? A friend that causes me to be at ease, relaxed, secure, safe, unworried, contented. A friend that causes me to be happy? But why? And then I understood that it is because of life. It is because he has a deep interest in life, life as a whole, life as a continuity and because life is an ever changing process, so too will our discussions, our thoughts, and ultimat...

Some argue that religious life is the best way to live. They claim life without a god is sad and depressing. Statements like “I could not imagine my life without God”, and “My life would be meaningless without God”, are common defenses for a religious life. The following is a list of advantages atheists enjoy over a religious life. Atheists can make moral decisions based on the specific context. Having absolutes like “Thou Shall not Lie” stops people from thinking for themselves and making the right decision based on the situation at hand. In what situation would be okay to lie? Most religious people would say, never. Atheists would disagree. For example: If you were living in Germany hiding Jews in your attic during the holocaust, and Hitler’s Nazis knocked on your door and asked if you were hiding Jews, would it be okay to lie to save the lives of the Jews in your attic? I believe trying to save their lives would the moral and proper choice. Atheists have the power to do what is...
