Thread Name: BS: To be a proud citizen . . . .
Subject: RE: BS: To be a proud citizen . . . .
interesting thread....
to be honest quite a lot of what we were brought to be proud of, in England in the 1950's is a bit discredited nowadays.
i think whether you believe in anything or nothing, you have to behave yourself.
if you're an atheist (and to be honest I can't put my hand on my heart and say I have a faith all the time - if faith was freely available, it wouldn't be a miracle)
like I started that sentence if you're an atheist , then its important to be good, because this is the only chance you have to make a success of things - no afterlife.
if you do your best most of the time, you're entitled to be proud.
