DAY ONE

" Why would you think God is real ? "

" Why are you an atheist ? " I ask

" There are no facts he exists. "

" What makes you think he doesn't exist ? " I say.

" Where's the proof ? "

" You're alive aren't you ? "

" Yes, but my parents are dead. " he says. " So tell me. Why would he kill them ? Why would he let something horrible happen ? "

" I don't know.... ? I honestly say.

He sits down and looks at his hands. I sit next to him.

" If he exists, explain why. "

" I cant explain why. " I say. " but I have faith ? "

" Where does that faith come from ? If you know he exists, where's the proof ? "

" I'm alive. "

He lets out an exasperated sigh.

" My life sucks. Why do I even live any more ? " He mumbles.

" I don't know...."  

He stays silent. " but you should be thankful you're alive. " I say.

" Are you thankful ? " he asks.

" Yes. "

" Why ? "

" You ask so many questions. " I say.
