Now that just warms my atheist heart

Story Here!

There was a campaign on buses in England, paid for by a Humanist group, that just says: "There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Christian groups predictably threw a hissy fit.

But I really think that often it is more important to reach out to a person with kindness and offer one's opinion non-judgmentally than it is to prove a point.

Do you really think you've succeeded there?

Dear April,

I pointed out to Zoe above, that I don't think I always succeed there. I'm sorry if I haven't succeeded in my exchange with you or in other ways.

But just because I'm not good at something, doesn't mean I don't think it's a good value to aim for. If you want to have a discussion about this in person or on the phone or over e-mail, please let me know.

If you want me to stay off this thread, I will. I initially came back just to clarify my position to Zoe, but if it bugs you, I will leave.

I really am doing my best, April. Just like we all are.

Love,
Jen

A final comment: in my comment to April, I wasn't trying to encapsulate the entire discussion or explain your position. I was pointing out one area where the two of you seemed to be talking about things in a different way.
