man. Along a path the devoutly faithful man told the other man he was going to heaven. "Well," exclaimed the other, "I am an atheist and I don't believe in God." Not soon after both men came up to a gate, and someone said, "Who goes there." The faithful one said, "It is I who have done the will of God and done all he has asked and I have come to enter heaven." The guard said, "Enter unto yout glory." Then the guard asked the other man who he was. Nervously, the other man said, "I am of the faith of God." to which the guard said, "And which one is that?" The atheist said, "I believe in nothing, which is the faith of god, is it not?" The guard pondered and said, "Well, you see that gate over there in the distance?" That's for all of the faith of nothing. Go there and they will let you in" When the atheist got to the gate, he said, "Is this where I go as I am an atheist." The guard there said,
"Well you've come to the right place. Everyone's allowed in here." As soon as he entered he noticed everyone was just sitting around doing nothing. He asked the guard why everybody was just sitting around, to which the guard replied, "Well, we believe in nothing, we accomplish nothing and we DO nothing. Isn't that what you wanted?" Isn't that the way most people want life? Being part of "nothing?, putting down those who believe in something, especially those of god? Why does it "bother" non-believers so much?
