yesterday is a constant reminder that our tomorrow is always today

love is proof that heaven can hurt like hell

Religion is to truth what a flashlight is to the sun.

Worshiping God by crowding into a church is like celebrating life by crawling into a coffin.

In a world filled with seekers of eternal life and fame, humility comes solely from accepting our finitude and an aspiration to obscurity. By becoming man, however, God inspired humans forever after, not with an example of how to become humble, but one of only wanting to become as famous as Jesus Christ, Charles Manson, or Paris Hilton.

we are not what we see in the mirror, but what allows us to see the costume of our complexion that we confuse for ourselves.

the theist aspires to become wholly dependent upon God to conquer their fears, which only means they must become wholly dependent upon a "man of God" or a purely man made church. the atheist aspires to overcome those fears through self reliance, as Ralph Waldo Emerson explained in his most excellent essay by that same name, or to die trying.
