So, Weltz, how would you explain death to a 2 year old?


 Everything has an expiration date.....pet goldfish, Rover and Grandma.

They're no longer with us, but have changed into energy.


 But where did they go?

So does knowing that you are loved and cared for by not only my Savior, but by my family and friends.  It's a wonderful feeling. Too bad some people don't get to experience that...

Funny how avowed atheists are so uncomfortable talking about death that they have to quickly flip the page and not explain her absence. How about "this is Grandma, she died when you were 10 months old". It is really that hard? Wow.

Silly girl, I didn't say emotions weren't real, I said you can't prove them.  And you can't. You tried valiantly though and for that I have to give you kudos.  We all fail from time to time.  The key is to be able to admit it.  Just a little friendly advice...

Right?  We can't talk about what happened to her because it would give you nightmares!

 You intuitively know that God exists.  You know deep in your soul that Creation didn't create itself.  You know deep down that man is more than just an animal.  But, you don't want to see, so you don't.

   I am not sure who you are defending?  So are you denying God now or what?  As I said, you seem to swing between both sides of the fence pretty easily.  I guess God exist when it's convenient for you, but then He doesn't when your atheist buddies pipe up.  Not sure how you can keep all that straight in your mind.

All I'm saying is that there are things that are real that cannot be proven. If you do not believe that, then you are woefully ignorant...

There was a real discussion taking place until Weltz made her first post.

Deep down inside, I really do believe. I worship at the feet of a celestial Kim Jung Un, lest he punish me with eternal hellfire if I don't.

I'm not really an atheist...I just play one on TV.

Happy?

 You continually prove my point.  You OOZE anger at  God.  Anger at the God that you say doesn't even exist.  lol.  If you were soooo confident of that, you would have no reason for such bitterness and anger and hate.

Meh. This isn't a popularity contest.
I find the Christians are just as angry at atheists. I'm just vastly outnumbered here.
Never the twain shall meet.

 Yes. Truth does hurt. Especially when it is so obvious.

But obviously for the person who wrote the letter--there is an inner struggle.  They don't know what to say.  Their belief system seems totally inadequate.
