What on Earth is an Atheist

An atheist is one who creatively enjoys not the freedom OF religion, but the freedom FROM religion; especially as religion is mostly about fear and guilt to always morally and to financially support organized superstition. Now what exactly have we atheists to offer in exchange after we demolish superstition off people’s lives? Only this - we offer the return of the most priceless treasure stolen away from you during education: your own precious mind and heart; especially as a human being that you may learn to have more love and compassion for the rest of humankind not for what she is at present but for what humankind has the great potential to become in the future. Before he died at the age of 97, Bertrand Russell, mathematician, logician, a philosopher, and an atheist, wrote: “I cannot believe that this is to be the end. I would have men forget their quarrels for a moment and reflect that, if they allow themselves to survive, there is every reason to expect the triumphs of the future to exceed immeasurably the triumphs of the past. There lies before us, if we choose, continual progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? I appeal, as a human being to human beings: remember your humanity, and forget the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, nothing lies before you but universal death.” Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
