Christmas: the one time of year when you canโt avoid the nuts in your family muesli.
Charles StrossI wish I was still an atheist. Believing I was born into a harsh, uncaring cosmos - in which my existence was a random roll of the dice and I was destined to die and rot and then be gone forever - was infinitely more comforting than the truth. Because the truth is that my God is coming back. When he arrives Iโll be waiting for him with a shotgun. And Iโm keeping the last shell for myself.
