That's all fine. I'm happy for you. Yes, I've messed up, but I don't think I need to ask for forgiveness from something I don't believe in. I just turn around and do better next time. I'm truly not saying I don't want YOU to believe, because you apparently need to. I DON"T need to. I'm very happy thinking I'm here on Earth for a short time, and that's it. I don't care about an afterlife of happiness and bliss. I have it NOW. I don't care about eternity. I am happy to be a part of the natural cycle of things. I don't care about the super-natural cycle of things. I don't need it. But I don't hold it against anyone who does. So, please, stop trying to grind it into me. Maybe you could share it with someone who is in need of it. Truly . . . Oh, by the way, I'm a sister . . . not a brother :-)
