Atheists & Agnostics

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]This does not make one way any better than another, just different.

I have never cried at a death of a family member or funeral. Not even when my biological father died when I was 9 years old. I miss him. I miss my grandmother. I miss all the people who have passed on...but I have never spilt a single tear for them.

But when my pet rabbit went missing, I was bawling like mad. The moment my parents admitted to me that it died, my tears stopped. When my mother had seizures and we thought she had an brain aneurysm (she didn't) I cried and cried thinking I might lose her.

I don't really get it. I can cry for the living, but not a thing for those who passed on. But that does not mean I don't miss them. My way of mourning is just different.

The Biden's obviously express their mourning in sadness. The family and friends of the atheist you speak would rather remember their joy. But, I think, the important thing is that they remember and honor their dead.[/font]
