I do not believe in any god(s) or supernatural phenomena, but I’m not a nihilist — I do believe there are values worth living for and defending and that they do not have to come from something other than man to be valid. This is nothing that hasn’t been talked about and defended for 250+ years, but people like this have no sense of history about such things anyway, so they simply pretend the whole thing doesn’t exist. And sometimes they manage to pull off this magic trick for a good long time. Scary.
