If god exists I will not regret the fact that I don't believe in him. Believing in god, the totalitarian being, is not going to make your existence any better. There is no better existence than living in a world in which you can form your own purpose.

The fact that he is god is why I hate the idea. If god exists then I must follow his purpose for me. I am a creation and not a creator. Being faced with a seemingly meaningless reality and finding meaning in it is one of the greatest joys of existence.

Faith is the abandonment of your own mind. As I am for the mind, I am against faith.
