Stephen Fry's Humanism


"That's to say God was absolutely everything a thousand or two thousand years ago because we understood almost nothing about the natural world, so it could all be God and then as we understood more God receded and receded and receded, so suddenly now he is barely anywhere."

Exactly! It's easy to look at a sunset or a cool looking cloud and say, "There's God!" But when your father is dying from lung cancer and all the praying everyone is doing hasn't done a thing, reality sets in and you realize there is no god. The universe is a horrible, deadly thing and is behaves this way because nothing created it. It just is.
