“I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.”
“I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t and die to find out there is.”
That is painful thinking……
I needed that line awhile back,… that would’ve been perfect compared to what I managed to come up with on the spot.
Kind of like Pascal’s wager, isn’t it.

Yes…
very like it.
I love Camus. I didn’t cotton to him when I was in college, which is when most people do..
I was much more fond of people like Hesse…
But there are lots of pieces of his I’d like to revisit now..
There’s another great quote of his on beauty and history I want to post on in a while..
Is this the same Camus who basked in existentialism, wrote the godless cold yet refreshing L’etranger, and died surreptitiously in a godless car accident? /That/ Camus?
Yes, indeed…
Wake up and smell the incense..
(only kidding!)
Seriously, why does it have to be believer-atheist?
Like Dem-Rep, left-right, good-bad and the rest.
What about good versus different good?
I detest these binaries.
Let’s stir things up a bit..
