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.
