Oh, it takes a lot for me to walk out of a film.

Literature is the only access to truth we have on this planet.

I suppose that there is no point wasting time being lazy, though of course indolence in a divine way, actually has its advantages.

The most important philosophy I think is that even if it isn't true you must absolutely assume there is no afterlife.

I believe in kindness and niceness and lots of spiritual things, but the real intellectual rigor and quest of logic is something that I'm afraid takes incredibly hard work and we live in an age in which hard work is if not actively deprecated or denigrated it is run away from or ignored.

The church has no power over our lives any more, which is something of a blessing for those who do not enjoy red-hot pokers or iron thumb-screws.

Atheism is not just about not believing there is a God, but on the assumption that there is one, what kind of God is he?
