“A purpose derived from a false premise - that a deity has ordained submission to his will - cannot merit respect. The pursuit of Enlightenment-era goals - solving our world's problems through rational discourse, rather than through religion and tradition - provides ample grounds for a purposive existence. It is not for nothing that the Enlightenment, when atheism truly began to take hold, was also known as the Age of Reason.” WorldReasonProblemAgePurposeGoalExistenceKnownAtheismEnlightenmentTraditionPursuitRationalErasMeritOur WorldDiscourseSubmissionDeitiesPremisesAge Of Reason Author:Jeffrey Tayler
“My writing derived from the conviction I conceived during my college years: one should lead one's life as if one were the protagonist of an epic novel, with the outcome predetermined and chapter after chapter of edifying, traumatic, and exhilarating events to be suffered through.
