Having once been a part of an organized religion, I do not care any longer for what they or their books have to say. Any quotes from any religion's writings just totally have no interest to me, but FM's writings always are helpful. Thank you, Mark. -- "Having invented the gods, we can turn into them."; "We must never forget that we are cosmic revolutionaries, not stooges conscripted to advance a natural order that kills everybody."; "The philosophy that accepts death must itself be considered dead, its questions meaningless, its consolations worn out."; "We can only engineer our freedom from death, not pray for it..."; "Spend the money, mobilize the scientists, and hunt down death like an outlaw."; (Alan Harrington) "Death is an imposition on the human race, and no longer acceptable" (Alan Harrington: "the Immortalist") "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, Rage, against the dying of the light."(Dylan Thomas) "I believe we're justified in contfronting death with knowledge and determination, rather than trying to appease it by mythical verse and surrender."
