“The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”
~Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel
A great quote from yet another atheist who's been thrown under the bus by regressives.
An eloquent statement.
From a very eloquent and remarkable individual.
