Quote of the day:

(from the comments)

All religion, Rosenzweig argued, responds to man’s anxiety in the face of death (against which philosophy is like a child stuffing his fingers in his ears and shouting, “I can’t hear you!”).
This, T., is why I wish I believed in God . . .

I enjoy the freedom of not believing; if I believed I would always have to be figuring out what is the right thing to do.

Maybe death is a small price to pay for that freedom.

I am never convinced that death is a great bad.
