My favorite Hitchens quote:
"The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more."
Wish I were that eloquent when it comes to dealing with pushy street preachers.
Best I can manage is, "You want me to believe in your imaginary friend? Fuck off. My fantasy life is far better than your bullshit!"
It does, of course, have its own eloquence.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
