if all those religious people might just be on to something, and if it might be wise to hedge bets. But then the weight of reason comes crashing down on those thoughts like a tidal wave, smashing them to smithereens and sweeping them into the intellectual sewer where they belong. I think about how 2000 years of trying has not produced one shred of convincing evidence for "god" and how religion and theology are still all hat and no cattle. And I remember that even if I go to hell for not believing, the company will be excellent.

And that even if I believed in this "god", he is so monstrous, cruel, genocidal, arbitrary and evil that I could never love or worship him, or take comfort from him in any way whatsoever, and still consider myself a human being worthy of living.

Problem solved.
