"I am a sworn atheist and therefore from my point of view the Talmud or the Koran don't constitute works of political philosophy but rather writings that stand in utter contradiction to concepts like logic, freedom, feminism, secularism, brotherhood - which are my ideals."
Michel Onfray

This is not to diss on you, but I find it humorous when people swear to their atheism, almost as if it is a religion itself. Being atheist or agnostic just means you don't believe in any of the religions. Atheism is not so much a belief in something as it is a non-belief in religion.

In case you hadn't noticed, it is a quote from Michael Onfray. I post a quote everyday.
I would say that I do believe in something. I believe in good. 
I find myself in full agreement. For me, Stephen Hawking said it best : The laws of the universe are immutable and apply to all matter within our universe. After read ing so many religious texts including the Gita, the Talmud, the Bible , Noble Quraan, Shinto, etc. , the only text that has any relevance to man was for me, the writings of Lao Tzu. At he wrote it is unknowable. ????
