I never used to understand atheists who get worked up about religion, now I do. How the tables have turned...
I feel more comfortable about death now. That might sound strange to some people. Death used to terrify me, I think it was the uncertainty and the possible threat of Hell. I also got a lot more interested in learning about Space and the Universe after I left religion. I feel more comfortable being part of something bigger that we can actually study, rather than having blind faith in a deity that supposedly created this tiny planet with us in mind.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
