On Atheism

... When I was young and clever, I fairly glowed with the confidence and certainty of my atheistic faith... reserving an almost demonic derision for those apparently indifferent to the proper and necessary vices of the times.
... Then a moment came, and as Paul on the road to Damascus, I became one whom I was persecuting.
... Oddly enough, even years later, atheism still seems the more intellectually defensible position... which just goes to show the nonsense that our minds can get into when they go off on their own.
