Quote by Albert Camus

The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd world, and there was no other in which we could take refuge.

The world in which we were called to exist was an absurd wor

Summary

This quote suggests that the world we live in is inherently absurd and irrational, leaving us with no other option but to accept and navigate through its complexities. It implies that there is no alternative reality or escape where we can seek refuge from the absurdity of existence. Therefore, it implies the need to confront and make peace with the inherent irrationality of our world in order to find our place within it.

On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A, B, C, and D. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism'.
