Sorry Dr. Helekar, but life for the atheists, it appears to me, from reading the above, is pathetic - just a piece of flesh, meant only for procreation "to pass on the genes", nil else. A sure recipe for suicide should one be unable to procreate for any reason. Anyhow. One will come to know if there life after life or not, just at the moment as one's life is about to be extinguished - by then, too late for the atheist if his theories are wrong; a wasted life in doing good things (for the theist) if the atheist is right. I'd rather be the latter and have at least strived to make the world a better place to live for those surviving me. Interestingly, I had posted a piece just yesterday regarding Mother Angelica and EWTN, which was rejected by the goanet admin as being "off-topic". I accepted the reason. However, I won't raise my hackles on Dr. Helekar's post. I will, however, refer to just one paragraph of that rejected post, below, as it has reference to Dr. Helekar's post: I am convinced God is looking for dodoes, she (Mother Angelica) once told Protestant televangelist Jim Bakker. He found one: me! There are a lot of smart people out there who know it cant be done, so they dont do it. But a dodo doesnt know it cant be done. God uses dodoes: people who are willing to look ridiculous so God can do the miraculous. Anyone interested in reading the whole article from where this paragraph came, please see http://www.holyspiritinteractive.net/columns/guests/tomhoopes/motherangelica.asp Cheers, Gabriel de Figueiredo.
