About Me



Well, here's some quotes by me:

"I am an atheist for the most selfish of reasons, but I am assertive of my beliefs for the most unselfish of reasons."

"The political party system turns way too many people into numbers rather than thinkers."

"My goal is to get people to remember my ideas after I die. If they remember my name, that's just a bonus."

“The price of freedom is not humanity.”

“Some people don’t like the subjective; they feel it lacks meaning and they fear they lack control of it. I disagree. The objective is predetermined. The subjective puts you in control; you choose the meaning.”

“Don’t write letters to your former self; they’ll never be able to read it.”

“We’ll improve drastically as a nation when the people realize the battle isn’t between liberals and conservatives, but between people and government.”

“The majority of conflicts on a world scale are not between good and evil, but evil and evil.”

“Racism is pure ignorance; homophobia is holy ignorance.”

“I’ve witnessed that some people use religion to replace their morals, rather than to uphold them. They feel like they can do anything they want because they accept Jesus as their savior. They feel it not only gives them the right to hate, but they believe that it’s their duty to hate. I don’t see a difference between someone doing something wrong, and someone doing something wrong with a cross in their hand.”

“It tends to be difficult for one’s mind to understand the simplicity of ‘is’ – to be - existence. It’s even more difficult to relate oneself to that word. Humanity is. We just are. That’s it.”

“Respect should not be earned; it should be given from the start.
Disrespect should be earned, and not given from the start.”

"I don’t believe in the supernatural; if it were real, it would be called natural”

“People who feel the need to claim moral superiority are usually covering up for something.”

“You examine your life to gain wisdom; you go to school to gain knowledge. One makes you happy, the other makes you money.”

"A love of humanity always has better results than a fear of god."
