Atheists & Agnostics

...most selfless persons I ever knew.

One of the happiest memories I have is taking her and my cousin to lunch when my cousin was dying of cancer, and letting her know how much I appreciated what she did for me.

She denied that she'd ever done anything for me, but at that lunch I corrected her.

This, of course, not about her closing the deal on my atheism, but rather the help she gave me when my mother was dying. I might not have lived through it myself without her help and that of my other aunts.

I have less of a problem with religious people who live the positives of their theology than those for whom it's just lip service. She and my cousin lived the positives of their faith, and I am grateful for their memory.
