Quote of the Day: Imagine There's No Heaven

"The existentialist, on the contrary, finds it extremely embarrassing that God does not exist, for there disappears with Him all possibility of finding values in an intelligible heaven. There can no longer be any good a priori, since there is no infinite and perfect consciousness to think it. It is nowhere written that “the good” exists, that one must be honest or must not lie, since we are now upon the plane where there are only men." -- Jean Paul Sartre (an "Old Atheist")

"... nothing intellectually compelling or challenging.. bald assertions coupled to superstition... woefully pathetic"
