The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism.

I don't even like showing my stuff to publishers and editors much.

I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me.

Religion attacks us in our deepest integrity by saying we wouldn't be able to make a moral decision without it.

Forgotten were the elementary rules of logic, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

We become accomplices in evil every time we seek to soothe the unslakable appetites of the crime family that sits in Pyongyang.
