Nonbelievers Last year, there was a chaplain in the Air Force up in Alaska who wrote in a blog post the phrase, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” He was ordered by his supervising officer to take it down.

Nonbelievers My girlfriend has got like the greatest story behind why she's not religious any more. When she was a kid, like 12 years old, her parents nailed a 25-pound crucifix to the wall right above her bed. About two week later, in the middle of the night, the crucifix falls off the wall and leaves a 2-inch gash in the back of her dad's head. Anthony Jeselnik © 2015 Kwiple.com
Nonbelievers Put them [Bill Gates and Warren Buffett] together with Andrew Carnegie, famous for his freethinking, and those three of the four greatest American philanthropists have been atheists or agnostics. (The exception is John D. Rockefeller.) In a country in which 96% percent of the population say they believe in a supreme being, that's a striking fact. It means that in one sense, Gates and Buffett are probably less self-interested in their charity than someone like Mother Teresa, who as a pious Roman Catholic believed in reward and punishment in the afterlife.

Snapshot No hocus-pocus about death and God or obsolete fantasies of heaven for him. There was only our bodies, born to live and die on terms decided by the bodies that had lived and died before us. If he could be said to have located a philosophical niche for himself, that was it—he'd come upon it early and intuitively, and however elemental, that was the whole of it.

Truth Well, I'm not sure. Jeff Sessions, who claimed during his confirmation hearing that he doesn't believe in religious tests, responding to the follow-up question, “And a secular person has just as good a claim to understanding the truth as a person who is religious, correct?” © 2017 Kwiple.com
