Here's a good story for you.

READ IT.

A certified atheist and a christian had the
same medical doctor. Why I'll never know
but they did. Every time they met in the
medical doctor's waiting room, they would
argue and end up insulting each other.

The atheist would say, "You really believe
that you are going to be saved on Judgment Day
and go to heaven. Do you really believe
everything you read in the Bible, and
everything they tell you when you go to
church?"

"I'm not certain of anything," the
believer replied. "Like you, I have
doubts. But I can tell you this, I still
have hope."

"But I don't have doubts about anything
myself," the atheist cried. "I have only
certainties. For example, I can assure
you that God has nothing to do with the
ache in your knee, and that He doesn't
care in the least how you feel."

"You don't know what you're talking
about. And do you know something? You
are a believer too. I can prove it to
you."

"Really? That I'd like to see that,
that's for sure!"

"Will you be straightforward and
answer my questions honestly?"

"Of course. I'm an honest atheist."

"Okay. Can you tell me what the name
of the doctor is who you came to see?"

"Well no, he's not here. And I can't
pronounce the replacement's name."

"Well, when you leave his office,
will you check the prescription he
gives you for mistakes, like you would
a lottery ticket?"

"No, of course not. The doctor knows
what he's doing."

"Are you a close friend of the
pharmacist who is going to fill the
prescription?"

"No, I go to a big pharmacy, and I
rarely get served by the same person."

"Do you know what medication the
doctor is going to give you, and what
its side effects are?"

"No."

"And yet you are going to take it,
aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Well, dear friend, I am happy to
announce that you too are a man of
faith!"

Many of us behave like the atheist:
we don't understand how believers can
have blind faith in their GOD, and we
often find their fervor ridiculous.

And yet, we also have well
established beliefs, and not only when
we go to see the doctor!

Think about it: without faith,
without any certainties, life would be
impossible. We sometimes have to have
blind faith to survive.

I don't have blind faith. I know what
I believe in, and I'm certainly not a
atheist. I'm a Christian and I'm proud of
it.

I wish you the best.

Life is good, and only getting better.
