I have more respect for the dead Filipino than I have respect for the dead Jew. When a Filipino dies, he does not resurrect back to life. He does not make a mockery of immortality.
In the meantime, there is only one truth, only one fact, and that is the reality of our own mortality. Religion is often used to deny this truth, to negate this fact. However the case may be, no matter how one looks at it, life is but a brief fleeting, bittersweet instant in eternity.
For my part, as an atheist, I entirely agree with Bertrand Russell: If we must die, let us die sober, and not drunk with lies. Poch Suzara
