“Observations”

Dear Harry,

This is more of a comment than a question.

(I hope that’s ok)

Being raised Catholic my whole life, I assumed (was made to believe- is more like it) that an atheist was an ‘Un-Godly’ hollow soul.

What I was taught, is wrong!

You are a patient, fair and respectful soul...not hollow.

Who’s place is it to judge anyones beliefs?!

Certainly not mine.

I have never been a judgemental person anyway and have always kept what I was taught to myself.

I would consider myself in the minority though.

I will never forget the time I was doing a ministry with my teenage nephew. A ‘Holy’ woman started criticizing my nephew because he was wearing an AC/DC necklace. It is our favorite band.

(We listen to them on our way to Church and home.)

Needless to say my ‘auntie bear’ instinct kicked in- and being a writer, we are quicker with words than most people. I successfully (and with NO guilt) defended him.

She was embarrassed. How dare she judge my kid!

(Sister’s kid/same thing in our family)

Nobody has the right to judge anyones beliefs and all should be respectful.

That is my 2 cents-

Thank you,

Benz
