Some people have faith. It doesn't just come, it is embraced.

Some people don't have faith. Many of them are wonderful people.

It is written that those who fail to accept faith will be left behind, will never see Heaven.

There are people I would die for, living peaceful, loving lives, who will never embrace faith, and so they will be left behind.

I could never abandon them. I decided long ago, when I was still a child, I won't board that train. I'll stay with the suffering faithless. Just seems like the right thing to do.

Would Heaven wash away my conscience?
