| Quote of the moment |
| It seems to me that God has fallen asleep somewhere. I was joking, as you might imagine, since we make no allowance for a creator god. But it is true that if God has fallen asleep, then it is our job to wake Him up. One can't blame all our troubles on God. Nor on destiny, nor on karma, which is our law of the chain of causes, of deeds, and effects. All this comes from a rather cowardly attitude. |
