Bob, My name is Alison and I am 15 years old. I was never raised to believe in any particular type of religion.Infact,the subject never even came up with my parents. I suppose this was a good thing, because I have always been one to think for myself and make my own decisions. I never payed too much attention to the whole deal, but a few years ago I decided that I do not believe in the bible, as it all mostly seems like a bunch of over exaggerated fairy tales to me. Eventually I had come to the conclusion that I don't believe in Jesus Christ, and that there is just not enough evidence of any sort for me to believe in a God either.However,I also decided I am not going to label myself into any category of religion,because I am not strongly oppinionated about any of it( I hope you understand that ),and to be honest----it gets me pissed off when people make such a big deal about it. From what I have read off your website,I can see that we do share some of the same view points,and that you are obviously,a very intelligent person.Now I have not been able to read everything , as I just recently found your website (thanks to your jesus dress up page) but I am very curious to know where you stand on the topic of death.Do you have any opinions on what happens when we die? I apologize before hand if this question is ignorant, but where I live there really isn't much but Christians, and I wish to expand my knowledge on the different ideas people have.If there's already something about this on your page and you don't feel like explaining,maybe you could just give me a link to where it is instead.I greatly appreciate you taking the time out to read this, It seems like you get a lot of emails so if you can't respond I understand. Respectfully,
Alison, My opinion of what happens after death is a pretty simple one. Nothing. You'll be in exactly the same place you were when before you were born. Sometimes it can be a pretty difficult thing to comprehend, but it's just too obvious for me to ignore. No fairy tales, no fiery gloom, no self-indulgent account of what your "oh so important" life was. Simply "The End Is The End." The "Big Sleep" will be just that. Actually (when I was a Christian) this was the same fate I had lined up for the dead birds in the storm gutters, road kill on the freeway, and the animals of the jungle. For some reason I had no trouble comprehending it for them, but for myself, I only knew of eternal paradise for me and my loved ones. Now I know better. It was my ego talkin'. Nothing more. I came to the conclusion a few years back that it was truth that was most important, and this truth could not be ignored any longer. I'll tell ya, nothing inspired me more to make something of my life than this reality. Now, each moment is precious, I appreciate every aspect of my life as best I can, and I do what I know is right for me. Thank
you so much for your email Alison. Subject: A Graphic Designer that LOVES your site That supercilious critique of your design skills made my skin crawl. I see a lot of these types at the college I go to: inexperienced, insecure and looking for any opportunity to foist their "educated" opinions on others in hopes of overcoming their greenness. I love your front page! It's like opening an evil toy box and finding it overstuffed with blasphemously delicious diversions. Ms. "better than you because I take classes with sophisticated names" can fuck off! She only wrote that letter because she was intimidated by your drawing skills and wanted to assert herself over you in an area she perceived you weak at. Shadfox |
