  5. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Lecture (1881-05-01) “The Great Infidels,” Booth’s Theater, New York

  6. Even if You Think Your Writing Isn’t Good Enough to Write a Novel—Why Not Give It a Try? Isaac Asimov as an Example

    The above painting is an AI-Created Portrait of an older-appearing Isaac Asimov. Some minor editing was performed using additional digital painting software. I have mostly seen Asimov without a moustache. However, for some reason, AI included a moustache in this Asimov artwork. I'm unaware (at this point) if Asimov ever wore a moustache... but his bushy sideburns are legendary. Let's just say that this is an artistic interpretation of Isaac Asimov's likeness. Besides that, one thing I do know […]

  7. A quotation from Ingersoll

    The God of Hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved — cursed, not worshiped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the lowest hell. I want no part in any heaven in which the saved, the ransomed and redeemed will drown with shouts of joy the cries and sobs of hell — in which happiness will forget misery, where the tears of the lost only increase laughter and double bliss.

  9. A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll

       Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?
       Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

  10. A quotation from Shakespeare

    FOOL: Good madonna, why mourn’st thou?
    OLIVIA: Good Fool, for my brother’s death.
    FOOL: I think his soul is in hell, madonna.
    OLIVIA: I know his soul is in heaven, Fool.
    FOOL: The more fool, madonna, to mourn for your brother’s soul, being in heaven. Take away the fool, gentlemen.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Twelfth Night, Act 1, sc. 5, l. 64ff (1.5 64-70) (1601)
