When I was about 7-8, an argument about Job with my Sunday school teacher started me on the path to atheism. By the time I was in college, I was an atheist, and remained one for almost 60 years.
A few nights ago, an entity woke me about midnight to tell me I was among the chosen few who would be rewarded in the afterlife.
He told me that in spite of being an atheist, I was deserving of reward in the afterlife, although there was no description of the nature of said reward. I was told that living a good life & concern for god’s creatures was sufficient for salvation.
For most of my life I owned dogs and treated them with respect & love. When I retired, sold my house, & moved into an apartment, I could not longer keep a dog: I have adopted some squirrels who live at my apartment complex.
I buy large quantities of nuts (in shells), which I leave for them from early fall to late spring, knowing that the winter months are difficult for them. Several recognize me and approach when I leave the apartment, knowing that I always carry unshelled walnuts & Brazil nuts.
It seems that most religions have led people astray. There is a god of nature who rewards those who are kind to animals (and are not mean to people). I was told that there is/are no other god/gods. I was also told that it was known that I did some research & discovered that squirrels require nuts in shells in order to keep their teeth healthy.
Perhaps all of the above was merely a dream, but I am going to continue feeding the squirrels just in case it really happened. I now profess belief in the god of nature who likes squirrels.
For theists without a sense of humor, I am teasing & trolling
