QUOTE: 'With religion, we are like children who still believe that we are protected in the world by benevolent parents who will look after us.
Atheism is the throwing off of childish illusions and acceptance that we have to make our own way in the world. We have no divine parents who always protect us and who are unquestionably good. The world is instead a big and scary place, but also one where there are opopportunities to go out and create lives for ourselves'.
Philosopher Julian Baggini

Nature had no regard for any lifeform and does not choose one creature over another. We are equal to any worm. So what makes life worthwhile? Coming together and enjoying as much as we can out of life, creating beauty, making life easier for others, and hopefully finding love along the way. We are alone in the universe, but wee matter to each other.
