Freethought Quotes

“I find it odd- the greed of mankind. People only like you for as long as they perceive they can get what they want from you. Or for as long as they perceive you are who they want you to be. But I like people for all of their changing surprises, the thoughts in their heads, the warmth that changes to cold and the cold that changes to warmth... for being human. The rawness of being human delights me.”

@kristinrawls @C_Stroop I’m pretty convinced the first story about Menlo wouldn’t have come out except that an atheist blogged about it first. Thanks to @hemantmehta !
