Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Would you hold my hand If I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven Honesty is the best policy. |

The word, "atheist" does not mean "against god" as so many religious people (especially christians) would have everyone believe. No. "Atheist" means "without god". As an atheist, the whole idea of god(s) is simply irrelevant to my world view. Morality enumerated in laws and dictated by others, is not morality at all. No, morality is the system of values one accepts as self-evident in and of themselves. For example. I don't need to be told that killing anyone is wrong. I know this to be true simply because I can understand that if I believe it is ok for me to kill someone for whatever reason I can justify, then it must also be true that it is also ok for someone else to kill me. So, as I don't want to be killed, I don't kill. I don't want anyone to steal my stuff, so I quite easily conclude it would also be wrong for me to steal from anyone else. If you can't understand this and need an old book to tell you this, then you are not living your faith, but mindlessly following your programming. But if you can understand this and live accordingly, then you are already a moral person and have no need for religious laws and commandments.

Do you notice in this song Eric Clapton asked "will you be the same, if I saw you in Heaven?" Let's pretend there is a Heaven and someday in the future Eric Clapton die and goes to Heaven and see his son there. Is his son Conor still 4 years old? My mom died in Sept 2013 when she was 87. Will my mom still 87, when I see her again in the future??? This raised a question "will people stop growing in Heaven, if Heaven does exist?" What do you think? I am an atheist, so the theory of Heaven is NOT exist. Do you have question? or you just influenced by your parents, your neighbors, your country's belief?? Hindu religion prohibits his people to eat beef, so the rest of world people eat beef will go to hell?? For same reason, Muslim prohibits its people to eat pork, so for the people eat pork should go to hell?? If you believe in science, you know the Earth is a round shape, NOT flat. The Sun is in the center of solar system, NOT Earth. With science, we have airplanes to travel, we have iPhone, Samsung smartphones with you everyday. Can you NOT believe in Science?? We have drone to fly around, we have autonomous cars drive itself for near future. How can you NOT believe in Science?? Have you ever think about these things? Honesty is the best policy.

If you know the story behind this song "Tears in Heaven", you will cry too. I cried when I read the story about 2012 or 2013. I forward the link by email to my three good friends, an orthodontist, a bank CEO and a PhD physicist. It is a very sad story. There is nothing more heartbreaking than a parent lost a child (4 year old) who fell from 53rd floor window to next building 4th floor roof. Please Google "The whole story of Conor Clapton (story 'behind' the tears in heaven"). It was a painful tragedy. Conor Clapton died on March 20, 1991. The Inspiration Behind Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” Clapton wrote this about his four-year-old son Conor, who died when he fell out of a 53rd floor window in the apartment where his mother was staying in New York City. Clapton had one other child at the time: His daughter Ruth was born in 1987, the year after Conor was born. Clapton wrote about this song in his 2007 autobiography: “The most powerful of the new songs was ‘Tears in Heaven.’ Musically, I had always been haunted by Jimmy Cliff’s song ‘Many Rivers to Cross’ and wanted to borrow from that chord progression, but essentially I wrote this one to ask the question I had been asking myself ever since my grandfather had died. Will we really meet again? It’s difficult to talk about these songs in depth, that’s why they’re songs. Their birth and development is what kept me alive through the darkest period of my life. When I try to take myself back to that time, to recall the terrible numbness that I lived in, I recoil in fear. I never want to go through anything like that again. Originally, these songs were never meant for publication or public consumption; they were just what I did to stop from going mad. I played them to myself, over and over, constantly changing or refining them, until they were part of my being.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is Heaven? You have to die before you go there. Nobody came back from Heaven to tell us what is Heaven look like. There is more than 10 thousand years of human history, Heaven must be very crowded with so many religions. People fight again in Heaven? I am an atheist. But different from China's atheist. I haven't been forced to be an atheist. I am just "think out loud" and think outside of box and realized Heaven is not exist. I am NOT a communist. I always live in countries that have "Democracy" system. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, this song "Tears in Heaven" is a sad song that a father lost his 4 years old son. Honesty is the best policy.
