I tell you, theres someone that mixed up this whole thing (life). Think about it. Who can we blame (death)? . . . I dont know what the deal is, but in any case, its a reality (death), and it truly pisses me off.

The more we learn about the universe, the more we realize how pointless it is.
"Originally, at least, he (the atheist) does not suppress God; he merely talks to Him as an equal. But it is not a polite dialogue. It is a polemic animated by the desire to conquer. The slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear a crown."
"Christianity preaches only servitude and dependence. Its spirit is so favorable to tyranny that it always profits by such a regime. True Christians are made to be slaves, and they know it and do not much mind: this short life counts for too little in their eyes."
