I do not need the idea of God to explain the world I live in.

I do not need the idea of God to explain the world I live in

Summary

This quote suggests that the individual does not find it necessary to rely on the concept of God or a higher power in order to understand and make sense of the world around them. They likely hold the belief that natural explanations, scientific theories, and rational thinking are sufficient in providing an understanding of various phenomena and events in their everyday life. This indicates a perspective rooted in secularism or atheism, emphasizing a reliance on empirical evidence rather than invoking supernatural explanations.

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.

In the aftermath of the recent wave action in the Indian Ocean, even the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williamson [], proved himself a latter-day Voltairean by whimpering that he could see how this might shake belief in a friendly creator. Williamson is of course a notorious fool, who does an almost perfect imitation of a bleating and frightened sheep, but even so, one is forced to rub one's eyes in astonishment. Is it possible that a grown man could live so long and still have his personal composure, not to mention his lifetime job description, upset by a large ripple of seawater?
