The Atheists and the Church

Dear Cha,

It was 3:00pm in Sunday afternoon. When I jump from my bed, grab my towel, and take a shower. 10 minutes later, I wear my jeans and my favorite red dickies t-shirt. I grab my watch and your present that you gave me in my birthday, a squared (more like an oblong), with a dangling letter with my initial on it. After that, I went downstairs and wear my pair of shoes, and left the house without saying goodbye to mama and her where I was going. You may thought that 'll go to the gaisano mall and loosen up a bit but instead, I went to the church....

After I have reach Sta. Ana Church, it was already 4:15am, 15 minutes left after the next mass, I take a seat where we suppose to usually seat in. When the mass has already started, the 3 girls beside me seemed to be curious why I didn't participate in the mass. I don't stand-up, sing along with the choir, I just sit there.

Little as they know Cha, I was an atheists, but you already know that, right? If they were on your part, why go to Church if you are not going to listen or participate in the mass, they might ask? The reason why some atheist go to church because they don't do the mass but rather they participate because someone motivates them. Believe it or not, it is generally an excuse or way so that both couples can be together. This is also true towards barkadas too.

But what is the reason why a person go to church even though he doesn't usually go to the mass... The answer is simple... Miracle. They tend to get such believing that its gonna happen. Hoping that you would be there... But in the end it is just a matter of false belief. I guess atheists still has their faith within them, it will just come out naturally and it's good to be human.

Anyway, I'm just here getting back to you.

Yours Truly,
Ian
