This is the first post on a blog which I hope has many more posts to come. Here I shall paste many quotes, links, pictures, and other such things which promote Atheism to those who already are Atheists as well as those who still subscribe to the old superstition known as religion.
Today's quote comes from Richard Dawkins, a prominent evolutionary biologist and atheist.
"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here."
