Donald Glover

atheist regret reflection
There are, after all, atheists who say they wish the fable were true but are unable to suspend the requisite disbelief, or who have relinquished belief only with regret.

How happy we ought to be, at the reflection that there exists not a shred of respectable evidence to support such a horrible hypothesis.

A wide and vague impression exists that so-called Eastern religion is more contemplative, innocuous, and humane than the proselytizing monotheisms of the West.
