Sometimes I am going through my regular day and I just stop for a bit and remember when I was in elementary school. I am 31 now and that was a long time ago. It was just so nice not having to worry about anything. You always had someone to do the work for you. The innocents and discovery of life was so exciting. You start to think of what you want to do with your future or how you want it to be. Life seems so long when you are so young. You may fear death but you really are not to worried about what is going to happen after you die. It is the same for everyone. As time goes on, life goes by faster. You really start to ask yourself, "what is going to happen when I die?" As we advance with age and wisdom. That question pokes more interest each year we grow older. Some of us are sure we know what is going to happen. Some of us really do not care. Weather you know what is going to happen when you die or you don't. We all have the same fear of dieing. Know one knows exactly what is going to happen when death comes knocking on your door and it will remain a mystery for ever.
Religion and spiritual beliefs are such a touchy subject. There are so many different kinds of beliefs out there. It can really make one think that it is all just a myth and when we die that is it. Your soul is gone and there is no after life. If you have read some of my articles. I am sure you know that I do believe in God. I believe in Jesus and I have given my life to him. I am afraid to die but I also know it in my heart that I am going to heaven. I really do not think of heaven too much and I think it is important to live this life we are given. It is just nice knowing there is a higher power looking after me. It is nice to know that when I die it will only be a new beginning in eternity of everlasting love and freedom. Some of you may think I am crazy or I am wrong but that dose not really matter to me. I really do not like to preach but, God is a major part of my life and I would not be true to myself by hiding my beliefs from everyone else.
The reason why I decided to write this article is not to try to convince anyone there is a God nor do I stuff religion down peoples thought. Understand that Christians are far from perfect people. Honestly they can be very judgmental towards others considering people sinners rather than human beings. That is not what God is all about. That is not how God sees you. Most of the people God used in the bible were sinners and did some horrible things. I think that is an example for us to know that we are all still worthy of Christ no matter what you have done in your life. It is just hard for me to imagine what it would be like not believing in God. Not having God to rely on and pray too. Going through this life not knowing what is going to happen when you die. Not having God to put your trust and faith in him. Going through this life taking on all your struggles by yourself relying on luck. I guess it is hard for me to understand because I have never lived that way.
We all have free will and I am not here to judge. I just want you know that if you are afraid of dieing or not sure what is going to happen and you are going through life without knowing. You do not need to start going to church and change yourself into a perfect person. That is impossible. What you can do is put your stubbornness aside and the opinion of knowing there is no God or after life away for just a bit. Open up your heart and ask God to show you he is real. It may not happen over night but if you call too him he will answer. He loves you more than what are understanding of love is. Life can be so much easier for you knowing you have someone looking after you. Knowing someone has always got your back. Knowing that someone is walking with you by your side through all your heart aces and struggles. Knowing that your life has a purpose and you were created by God for a reason.

I am an atheist for the same reason I am an Azeusist (someone who does not believe in Zeus) because there is no proof for the existence of Gods...not one, not any. Besides, if there be such a thing as a God, he must have known (since it is said that God knows all) I would be an atheist ahead of the time of my birth; and if that be the case, what right do people of faith have to question their Gods judgment anyway?

I suspect one of the reasons we fail as Christians to observe what we are told in 2 Timothy 2:15, is because we have been duped and bought into that diluted Christianity we have come to know in the twenty first century, while we are advised in Colossians 2:8 not to get caught up and to beware not to be taken captive by anyone through their philosophy as well as empty deceit.
