Late Atheist Bertrand Russell on God

"Even when one feels nearest to other people, something in one seems obstinately to belong to God, and to refuse to enter into any earthy communion- at least that is how I should express it if I thought there was a God.  It is odd, isn't it?  I care passionately for this world and many things and people in it, and yet...what is it all for?  There must be something more important, one feels, thought I don't believe there is."1

Courage and Godspeed,
Chad
