A little something i was told today,

...

An atheist said to a reverent:

Heaven is a fairy-tale for those
who are afraid of the dark

The priest replied:

Atheism is a fairy-tale for those 
who are afraid of the light.

Author's Note

I really like this. I understand and respect the differences between religious and non religious people, but some part of me wanted to argue against the second half.
It makes sense to be afraid of the dark, since one cannot know what's in it. But if someone is afraid of the light, don't you think you should take a second look if you're not? Our senses can be deceiving.
Again, not trying to start an argument, just the thoughts that came to me after reading this.

no that's okay, i respect any of your thoughts and arguments, besides i like to have an disagreement every now and then, wheres the fun having every being agree with you all the time?
Also i just want to thank you Trivn for reading and reviewing my work, it means a lot to me.

huh? i didn't think of it that way, this is what i love the most, when reading the comments, i love the way that someone else's perspective could really get you questioning yours.... Thank you Charlie.

Interesting humour in this one.

If I may play the devils advocate a little, perhaps an atheist would posit that they aren't afraid of the light: they just don't believe they need God to shine one for them...

At face value, though - this is some light relief (pardon the pun) :)
