I always hated church and never felt I was any part of it, so I have no emotioinal void leftoever from deciding not to be a christian. And vI find that the greatest emotional support comes from within, by understanding and controlling your emotion.

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
