To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.

I also find Christianity to be morally repugnant. The concepts of original sin, depravity, substitutionary forgiveness, intolerance, eternal punishment, and humble worship are all beneath the dignity of intelligent human beings and conflict with the values of kindness and reason. They are barbaric ideas for primitive cultures cowering in fear and ignorance.

When I first encountered [Slaughterhouse-Five] in high school, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. But it sure made me think, which, in my view, is what a good novel should do. Funny thing about that thinking – some people see it as dangerous.
Quote: Arthur Schopenhauer
Arthur Schopenhauer, Ph.D., German Philosopher, Atheist
The wise man will, above all, strive after freedom from pain and annoyance, quiet and leisure, consequently a tranquil, modest life, with as few encounters as may be; and so, after a little experience of his so-called fellow-men, he will elect to live in retirement, or even, if he is a man of great intellect, in solitude. For the more a man has in himself, the less he will want from other people—the less, indeed, other people can be to him. This is why a high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial.
