For those who do not know, I am an athiest. ***GASP!!!*** Yes, it's true. Not a pagan, not an infidel, and not a heathen. Just an athiest, a person who does not believe in the existence of the Biblical God, or any other gods for that matter. Here's the thing, though: I look around and I watch all these supposed Christians doing their everything things in their everyday lives and think to myself how hypocritical these "Godly" people are, and how much easier it is for them to hide behind the thin veil of said godliness to justify their actions, regardless of how unchristian-like or ungodly they may be.
I am a rare athiest in that I believe Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago spreading a message of love, peace, and tolerance, but I believe he was human, just a man like you and I. I look at his message, how I live my life, and how those who proclaim themselves to be Christians live their lives and what I am left with is this: As an athiest, I am more Christ-like than those who believe chanting his name will get them into a magical kingdom in the sky. So do us all a favor, "Christians:" Practice love, peace, and tolerance and stop with the scorn that so easily defines your true characters.

This my Father. I am his second oldest, first-born son Duncan Jr. The GASP he speaks of in the beginning took me as a shock before any of you knew of this information, but knowing the man I father is and how he has portrayed his will towards goals, not only for himself but in raising his children and instilling in us the practical everyday use of love, peace, and tolerance shows that even though I, being a Christian and follower of Jehovah God, see him only as my father. There is nothing to ever change that and as long as I live, I will always love my father and have his corner no what the cost is.
