If snowbird, or anyone else, for that matter, gain comfort, stability, hope, etc. from having faith in God, so be it. It's obvious that people who believe in God feel that their lives are enriched as a result. Where's the harm there?
I, personally, do not believe in the Christian God or ANY God. My beliefs enrich & enhance MY life. I beleive it to be immoral to belittle or persecute someone for what they percieve as the truth or how they choose to think.
On that same token, I take great offense when people assume to call me immoral or wrong just because I don't believe the same way they do. That behavior, right there, is what turned me off from religion in the first place. Most (please note that I typed "most".) religious folks seem to feel that it's their obligation & duty to make everyone around them think as they do. How many people have been murdered over the centuries due to differences in religious thinking?
In short, don't tell me that I have to believe in God, & I won't tell you that you are flawed because you do. Everybody mind their own goddamned business & the world will be a much better place.
