“We do not know what awaits each of us after death, but we know that we will die. Clearly, it must be possible to live ethically-with a genuine concern for the happiness of other sentient beings-without presuming to know things about which we are patently ignorant. Consider it: every person you have ever met, every person you will pass in the street today, is going to die. Living long enough, each will suffer the loss of his friends and family. All are going to lose everything they love in this world. Why would one want to be anything but kind to them in the meantime?” KnowsWorldWantKindPersonsLongEnoughTodayDeathReligionSufferingDiesLosesLossStreetsThis WorldMetsConcernGenuineIgnorantFamily And FriendsAfter DeathSentient BeingsPresumingGenuine ConcernLiving Long Author:Sam Harris
“It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death.

“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.” IfsMenWayNeedsShouldHumansHas BeensIdeasSeemsDeathReligionSocialGoalReligiousPoorMoralImagineAtheismDyingMoralityBehaviorConceptsBasesRewardsAtheistPositive AtheismPunishmentTiesEthicalSpheresAgnosticUnjustAfter DeathThere Is No GodReligion GodUnderminingThere Being No GodGod And ScienceScience GodGod Is Not GreatReward And PunishmentEthical Behavior Author:Albert Einstein
