Quote by Lawrence Nault

“You can have faith in God or gods. You can have faith in people. But these aren't separate choices—when humans claim to speak for the divine, they inevitably speak from their own understanding, their own limitations, and their own agenda.”

“Atheism is an emancipating system of thought that frees the mind from myths, fables, and childish fancies. There can be no inquisition, no witchcraft delusion, no religious wars, no persecutions of one sect by another, no impediment to science and progress, no stultification of the mind, as a result of its teachings. The philosophy of atheism teaches man to stand on his own feet, instills confidence in his reasoning powers, and forces him to conquer his environment. It teaches him not to subject himself and debase himself before mythical superhuman powers, for his reason is his power. The march from faith to reason is the march on which dwells the future hope of a really civilized mankind. Atheism teaches man to endeavor constantly to better his own condition and that of all of his fellowmen, to make his children wiser and happier; it supplies the powerful urge to add something new to the knowledge of mankind. And all this, not in the vain hope of being rewarded in another world, but from a pure sense of duty as a citizen of nature, as a patriot of the planet on which he dwells. This is no cold and cheerless philosophy; it is an elevating and ennobling ideal which may console him in his afflictions and teach him how to live and how to die. It is a self-reliant philosophy that makes a man intellectually free, and this mental emancipation allows him to face the world without fear of ghosts and gods.”

“Not Woke, Only Accountable (A Sonnet) I am no teacher but only lover, I know no philosophy but amity. I am no writer but only revolution, I know no politics but serenity. I am no thinker but only soldier, I know no science but ascension. I am no authority but only service, I know no poetry but inclusion. I am no humanist but only human, I know no ideology but oneness. I am no woke but only accountable, I know no paradise but acceptance. Taint not the mind with a puny label. We are beautiful when we are indivisible.”
