Yeah, that is such a great line.

I guess in the end I only have my subjective view of fairness to go on. To me, if God is going to punish people for not believing then a level playing field would only be fair. If God created each individual specifically, and each individual is predisposed to believe or not, then I find it highly unfair for him to send someone to hell for behaving in the manner that he created them.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
