The post is long I know, but I beg you to take the time to read it. I believe it is a message we all must hear.


*sighs* I drew this not only as a memorial piece, but also to help me deal with Nellie's death. It is the first time that a friend has died, and it really shatters the way you look at the world. Everyone has been really harsh on the way I have been acting, but I believe I am doing the right thing, and as long as I am doing that, I believe that it is the right path. The only real sin in this world is not doing what you believe you should when you think it should be done. I struggled trying to cope with the loss. And I still hurt every single day, but the day it happened, I began my journey towards realizing the truth about the world, religion, and life itself. The journey may not be over, but I know this. Jesus was not literally God's son, what he meant by referring to him as our father was that we are all his "children." We are his creation. He created the universe, and we have lived in it. Also, Jesus never spoke of Heaven or Hell, instead he spoke of treating others with kindness because through that you feel happy and complete. After all, isn't that the root of all religion? I do not mean to give the idea that there is no life past this one, there very well could be, but there very well could not. What I believe is that early Christians created the concept of Heaven and Hell so that people see benefit in helping others and being a good person, since most of the time us humans are a vein self-centered species. But it backfired and the whole group of ideas became a sort of competition of who dweals in Heaven and who burns in Hell. I believe it was part of there hopes that in helping people to help themselves, that they would realize that you are helping the person for their good and not you own, and that they would realize what a wonderful feeling it is to know that you have helped someone. I also believe that in a sense God no longer lives as a powerful force, but instead as the much more subtle force that drives us to do good. The same I belive is true of Satan, he no longer is a force, but a presense that lives within us, pulling us in the opposite direction. We all have an equal amount of God and Satan in us, but it is the part of us we choose to act on that defines who we really are.
As for an afterlife, I believe we should not concern ourselves with speculating on something that cannot be proved or disproved. I believe we should all live life to the fullest, and try and see what it feels like to extend a helping hand.

As for Nellie, I implore you all to remember her fondly, for she was a true friend, and one of the easiest people to get along with I have ever met. Do not regret the time you knew her, that will only result in unhappiness, we must all remember that the ones that we care for never truely leave us, and you can always find them in your heart. Remember what I have said, and give it some thought. You may dissagree, but maybe you will form you own opinion, after all, it is ideas from the enigmatic minds of humans along with chance that shape this world. We are masters of our own destiny, I have desided that my destiny is to create Godstone. Do you know yours?

one set of my grandparents died within 20 days of each other. I was 10, but this is different, I always thought of my friends as untouchable. I now see how wrong I was
