frahulettaes"The world is my country; To do good is my religion." - Thomas Paine
I like this sentiment. Very much.
It's from here: http://www.atheistsunited.org/
I also liked this a lot:
"A tyranny demands fear of its populace; A monarchy demands loyalty of its subjects; A republic demands virtue of its citizens." - Montesquieu, "Spirit of the Law"
I read Montesquieu years ago.
Just more in my journey towards atheism.
Also, loving Elaine Pagel's Gnostic Gospels and Sam Harris's The End of Faith.
And if you haven't been to RichardDawkins.net and you're interested in atheism and it's attendant discussions, you may want to cruise over and have a look. Very interesting stuff.
