"The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed.
Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell.
Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more
intensely; we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy
and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more." - Christopher Hitchens
