The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell
Surprise Surprise Surprise. Russell- one of the most rabid anti-christian atheists of all time - and lugsoul quotes him. That says alot in my book. No wonder you treat me and my views like a fanatic - Russell would! hahahaha. BUSTED!!
Bertrand Russell was not an atheist. At best, he was an agnostic, and he wrote at length on the difference between the two. He was also a physicist and a mathematician, and a poet and a philosopher. I know that in your mind I would be agreeing with every word he ever uttered if I simply posted one of his mathematical theorems on my home page. But, for those of us who are capable of agreeing with one thought or sentiment of a man without accepting or rejecting their entire body of thoughts as a result, I will say that the quotation was posted because of the sentiment it reflects, not because of the man who said it - a concept I'm sure you struggle with. And, I would also add, that of the many here who represent perfect examples of the truth of the quote, you are near the top of the list.
