Atheist: A person who disbelieves in the existence of gods. ( Gods! Lots of Gods! A million of 'em! I think the Greeks and the Romans had the right idea - just throw together dozens of them and make them all fight and drown in their own flaws, act like dicks and psycho bitches, and if you conquer a people just throw their Gods in there, too. The more Gods the merrier!! For goodness sake the Hindus have 33,000,000 Gods. If you can't find a God in there you're nuts.)
Agnostic: A person who claims neither faith or disbelief in god. (Someone who is lazy. Can't commit. Don't get involved with someone like this.)
Disaster: An unforeseen causing great loss, upset or unpleasantness of whatever kind. (I like that 'whatever' is in there.)
Doomed: Assumed to suffer death, failure, or a similarly negative outcome. (Death is definitely a negative outcome.)
Dilemma: A difficult circumstance or problem.
The three Ds of these passages.
"To one who feel he is an atheist or agnostic, a spiritual experience seems impossible, but to continue as he is means disaster. To be doomed to an alcoholic death or to live on a spiritual basis are not always easy alternatives to face. But we have to face the fact that we must find a spiritual basis of life - ore else. Lack of power is our dilemma. We have to find a power by which we can live, and it has to be a power greater than ourselves."
"We of agnostic temperament have found that as soon as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express a willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power. As soon as you can say that you do believe or are willing to believe, you are on your way. (On your way!)
Quit fighting. Quit trying to control it or understand it.
