What real heroes look like.

What real heroes look like.




We do not think there is a purpose of life.
If there were, that would cheapen life,
making us tools or slaves of a master.
We think there is purpose in life.
As long as there are
problems to solve,
hunger to feed,
illness to cure,
pain to lessen,
inequality to eradicate,
oppression to resist,
knowledge to gain,
and beauty to create,
there will be meaning in life.
A college student once asked Carl Sagan:
“What meaning is left, if
everything I’ve been taught
since I was a child
turns out to be untrue?”
Carl looked at him
and said,
“Do something meaningful.”
If you want to be
a good, kind person,
then . . . be
a good, kind person.
– Dan Barker (Freedom From Religion Foundation): Salvation

HIV and Bears
Nobody who has seen a baby born can believe in God for a second.
When you see your child born,
and the panic, and
the amount of technology,
that is saving the lives of the two
people you love most in the world;
when you see how much
stainless steel and money it takes,
to fight off the fact that
God wants both those people dead,
no-one can look in to the eyes
of a newborn baby
and say there is a God.
If we were squatting in the woods,
the two people I love
most would be dead;
there’s just no way around that.
If I were in charge, no way:
we need technology
to fight against Nature.
Nature so wants us dead,
Nature is trying to kill us.
The natural things
in this world
are
HIV and Bears.
