- I never joined a religion when I was young because I never felt that people joined for the right reasons. It always seemed like a psychological shortcut to satiate one's fears of death and to answer the deepest questions of our existence. I feel that exploring these mysteries is one of the greatest pleasures in life.

Existential Psychology and Theism
Existential psychology, at least to a certain point, consists of exploiting the recoil from the despair of finiteness... The survival instinct tends to prolong life. The fundamental drive tends to inform itself about the universe.

Liz Ohlson said… - I'm glad you enjoyed it.It really is one of my favorites,and one I have shared
with many theist friends and relatives when they bring up the atheism topic.
It says everything I want to say without being condescending and argumentative,although my guess is they don't watch it ;-(.
Cheers!
