On March, the 11th 2019 I was thinking about a post of a friend. This is somehow important for me, therefore I share it also in this side.
After reading “Why did God create Atheists?” from Martin Buber, Tales of Hasidim Vol. 2, 1991, seen on 2019/04/22, I was reminded about two quotes from Terry Pratchett. Therefore I share them:
Person 1: “No it’s not!" said Constable Visit. “Atheism is a denial of a god.”
Person 2: “Therefore It Is A Religious Position,” said Dorfl. “Indeed, A True Atheist Thinks Of The Gods Constantly, Albeit In Terms of Denial. Therefore, Atheism Is A Form Of Belief. If The Atheist Truly Did Not Believe, He Or She Would Not Bother To Deny.” Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay
“Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they’d seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat. Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it’s nice to be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, “Oh, random-fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!” or “Aaargh, primitive-and-outmoded-concept on a crutch!” Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms
