twitterLetter: All believe in God eventually
Tuesday, July 6, 2004 | 8:54 a.m.
One has to feel sorry for all the atheists in our country. During the funeral proceedings for Ronald Reagan, God was spoken of many times. That must have been like driving nails into their nonbelieving skin.
My father was an atheist most of his adult life. Because of this I was denied an important part in my Catholic religion. I had to learn all about it from a very patient priest when I was in my early 20s. One day I visited my father at his apartment, and to my shock he was watching a preacher program. He had finally found a belief in someone besides himself and the financial world he so idolized. From that day and to the end of his life, he worshiped with those TV preachers.
Mark my words, you atheists out there, the day will come, like it did for my father, when you'll call out and it won't be for Wall Street or the science community or your own preconceived greatness.
