If I do eat meat, it's got to be ethical. I want to know that it lived a great life before it was killed humanely.

I no longer needed a reason for my existence, just a reason to live. And imagination, free will, love, humor, fun, music, sports, beer, and pizza are all good enough reasons for living. But living an honest life - for that you need the truth.

Science seeks the truth. And it does not discriminate. For better or worse it finds things out. Science is humble. It knows what it knows and it knows what it doesn’t know. It bases its conclusions and beliefs on hard evidence -­- evidence that is constantly updated and upgraded. It doesn’t get offended when new facts come along. It embraces the body of knowledge. It doesn’t hold on to medieval practices because they are tradition.

The next time someone is critical of you, just take a moment to consider their life. Then smile to yourself.

I think everyone has the ability to be loved.

Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.

Thank you God for making me an atheist.
