Not "this too shall pass"

Dear Blog Diary,
Like Stevie said, when you believe in things that you don’t understand, you suffer.

I’m not one of those obnoxious atheists. I pray time at times if the company I’m with is. I usually bow my head and go over my grocery list. I’ll go on record and say the Beatitudes are WAY more important than the Ten Commandments.

The biggest one I just can’t is Genesis, and I’ve met people, “six, 24 hour days. God just said click.”

I want an atheist scientist to observe the universe and independently come to the conclusion that Genesis is correct, NOT a scientist who seeks evidence that supports a Christian conclusion.

Faith is a beautiful thing. Different strokes. Love the Bible though. Good stories and my favorite piece of the wisdom in the entire Bible:

What will make a happy man sad and a sad man happy?

“This too shall pass.”

My brother is atheist too. We're similar in so many ways, different in some.

RIP to my mother’s car yesterday. She told me about it in the morning and by the afternoon my brother was at a dealership doing some shopping for her. He’s like that.

We butt heads FOR SURE. Ups and downs, don’t see eye to eye. He knows I think he could have a softer touch at times. Makes sense though. Not that you can't do both but he’s a tough motherfucker, very stoic. One time in the car, rock cracked his windshield. Startled the fuck outta me. I said to him, “are you not bothered by this?!” Of course he’s human but he replied…

“What you want me to do?” As if to say, want me to flip out? Just have to get it replaced.

He does what needs to be done and cares for the ones he loves. When a hurricane comes, he probably won't ask how you feel about it. Probably will advise to find shelter but when you refuse, he won't move, and stare down the hurricane.

What do I believe of this universe and the cosmic reasoning of it all? I believe that no matter what happens in my life, my big brother will forever be by my side and I will be by his. Book of Revelation becomes Book of Reality, our atheist asses going straight to hell and we face the flames together. Closest person in my life. Grateful. 

This too shall last.

Best,
E
