As far as the eternal reward and all that... I thought it was pretty much ridiculous to begin with, I've never much been bothered with that. I think I was most furious about the idea that I am beholden to some eternal fairy in the sky who is a spy on my life. For years I felt as though many of my choices were repressed because of religion because I had bought into some degree of that truth. I was angry that I bought into the mere notion of a celestial Big Brother. The freedom I feel knowing--or being damn near sure--no one is in my head but me makes me feel fabulous (a word I can never use lightly).

The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it.
