Believe Want There Is No God

More From Thomas Nagel

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people i know are religious believers. it isn't just that i don't believe in god and, naturally, i hope that i'm right in my belief. it's that i hope there is no god! i don't want there to be a god; i don't want the universe to be like that.

You know, you have to start with hope...you don't get anywhere in this country without hope. so it's a necessity. what barack says is that people have to understand hope isn't just blind optimism. it isn't passive. it isn't just sitting there waiting for things to get better. hope is the vision that you have to have. it's the inspiration that moves people into action...there are more people engaged in this political process in this year than we've seen in my lifetime. and it is all because of hope because people believe in the possibility of something unseen.

I believe in islam. i am a muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of islam. it just teaches us to believe in allah as the god. those of you who are christian probably believe in the same god, because i think you believe in the god who created the universe. that's the one we believe in, the one who created universe - the only difference being you call him god and we call him allah. the jews call him jehovah. if you could understand hebrew, you would probably call him jehovah too. if you could understand arabic, you would probably call him allah.
Christian Believe Thinking
For myself, i like a universe that, includes much that is unknown and, at the same time, much that is knowable. a universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians. a universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being. the ideal universe for us is one very much like the universe we inhabit. and i would guess that this is not really much of a coincidence.

I dread the loss of her i've never touched love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears i gnaw my tongue with which to her i can never speak i miss a woman who was never born i kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet everything passes everything perishes everything palls my thought walks away with a killing smile leaving discordant anxiety which roars in my soul no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope
