I discovered this quote in preparing my post for Pessimism. It is something all have to grapple with and it is especially difficult for the weak-kneed religionists. “Humanism has to recognize an inescapable undertone of tragedy in the world. … All that we are, all that we love, all those things, people, and values to which and to whom we are attached by love, perish. Nothing of an individual nature seems permanent. Nothing is certain. Humanism can offer no consolation.” British sociologist Ronald Fletcher 1968

While he's at it explain Armageddon is a hoax, and the Antichrist a boogeyman.
