My Atheism does not make me hate. My Atheism does not cause me to lack morals. My Atheism does not create bigotry. My Atheism denies God, but not your freedoms.

I may not pray to Yahweh; I may not agree with Buddha, but I do love. I fill my heart and mind with compassion for those I call my friends. I forgive my enemies, but I do not deny myself vengeance. I pass judgement only upon words and deeds, but I continue to attempt understanding the reasoning.

I love those deserving of my love; hate those who have earned my hate; feel indifference for those I have not yet known--but I respect only a few from each level.

My beliefs do not make me hate. My ideas do not make me mad. My personality makes me human--I allow nothing to strip me of my nature or spirit.
