Atheist Dies, Asking People Not To Tell Her Child That Mom’S In Heaven

[SilentLoner]

So … I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, apparently, I’m dead. Good news, if you’re reading this, is that you are most definitely not (unless they have Wi-Fi in the afterlife). Yes, this sucks. It sucks beyond words, but I’m just so damn glad I lived a life so full of love, joy and amazing friends. I am lucky to honestly say that I have zero regrets and I spent every ounce of energy I had living life to the fullest. I love you all and thank you for this awesome life.

 

Whatever religion brings you comfort, I am happy that you have that. However, respect that we are not religious. Please, please, please do not tell Brianna that I am in heaven. In her mind, that means that I chose to be somewhere else and left her. In reality, I did everything I could to be here with her, as there is nowhere, NOWHERE, I would rather be than with her and Jeff. Please don’t confuse her and let her think for one second that is not true. Because I am not in heaven. I’m here. But no longer in the crappy body that turned against me. My energy, my love, my laughter, those incredible memories, it’s all here with you.

How sad. I hope people respect her wishes and are considerate to her daughter and partner.

Wow! What an awesome letter. Follow the link and read the whole thing. What an encouraging outlook and view of life.

How beautiful! Sad that she was taken so young, but what a wonderful legacy to have left her daughter. I really hope no one disregards her wishes and pesters her daughter, though I suspect someone will.

     Brianna, your mom is not in Heaven.  Your mommy was an atheist.  That means she is in Hell burning in torment forever and ever.  Brianna, do you want to be on fire forever?  No?  I didn't think so.  So I need you to repeat these simple words okay?

No problem. The religious won't tell the girl that her atheist mother is in heaven. Unfortunately, they'll tell her that she's in hell.

 

Regardless, it is a beautiful letter. Such sad circumstances.

Good one mwc!

 

As an Ex-C I know that that's how creepy Christianity is, but after reading the letter and then your post? That really put a spotlight on the slimy mind f*ckery that Christianity uses.   

 

I'm glad I got out and that that lady and her husband never got in. I hope that little girl will know better when my former brain eating zombie friends come calling down the road.

     Thanks.  But I thought we've all watched while some "helpful" xian during some personal crisis took some poor little kid(s) aside, helped them fold their hands and led them in a little prayer.  Nothing like a good predator in action.

I'm sure we've all been there at a funeral where some xian has preached the hell fire and brimstone to the deceased unsaved family....

 

That used to make me angry and embarrassed when I *was* a believer!
