Dear Secularists,

It’s me, Felicity….

You know..…..that unseen spirit that you want to be free to ignore in public? That’s me.

Don’t worry about it, I’m fine being ignored and I get it, I’m just an “abstract idea” or whatever. I don’t want to force you to talk to me, or admit that I’m a real person either. That’s not how I am and I’m not going to hold it against you because you are free to think whatever you want and that’s how I want it to be…

The way I figure is that if you don’t want to know me and how awesome I am, that’s kind of your problem and not mine. Do you know what I mean? So just go ahead and keep doing your thing, but while I have your attention I was just curious if you could at least…I don’t know, maybe admit that it’s possible for you to be hurting my feelings a little bit by ignoring me? You know…just in case I exist? I’m not saying that I do, so calm down. I’m just saying if I did, have you ever considered the fact you might be…. oh, I don’t know………WRONG to ignore me?

I know. I know. I know. I said it. I shouldn’t have said it, but I said it, so please don’t get mad at me because I am not trying to accuse you of being wrong…… what I’m trying to do is TELL YOU that you are wrong, as gently as possible….without forcing you to believe I exist…….which is different.

It’s totally different…..and why is that you might ask? Well…..

…….I’m writing this letter aren’t I? And nobody forced you to read it.

Just think of me like an invisible friend who’s trying to do you a favor.

It’s like there’s toilet paper stuck to your shoe type of thing. I don’t want to come right out and tell you about it because it might embarrass you in public, but I want to get your mind thinking in the right direction so you can realize it first for yourself.

Do you understand what I am saying?

I’m just a good friend who’s looking out for you and your shoe and there’s something there that you just haven’t realized…that’s all.

Now I know that some of you might think that it’s impossible for you to have toilet paper stuck to your shoe because you’re an agnostic, but you can’t argue with the fact that everybody has to go to the bathroom so….. I don’t know. You either do or you don’t, so I just thought you should check…since it’s quite possible that you do.

It’s possible…..

……..for you to be wrong……

……..That’s all I’m trying to say…..

Which means you would be wrong to ignore me…you know, hypothetically if I were to exist.

Even if I did exist I would never think that I should impose a belief in myself on any of you. In fact, I don’t even think it’s possible for me to do that because I don’t believe in myself in the first place…

…I’m just myself ……..writing a letter to you…

….there’s nothing you need to believe about that. It’s just what I’m doing.

You didn’t even have to read this letter if you didn’t want to….

….it’s just that you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe….



…..and I wanted to tell you.

Sincerely,

Felicity
