something to make you think

i was a philosophy and religion major in undergrad. philosophy is, and always will be, my first academic love. however, due to this law school business, i havent thought, discussed, or read nearly enough in a long time. god i should've gotten the phd. of course i still can, but i need a break from school after this.

anyway, i came across a few quotes this morning, maybe just something to get you thinking. discussion would be nice, or just enjoy them. either way.

I do not by any means know atheism as a result; even less as an event: it is a matter of course with me, from instinct. I am too inquisitive, too questionable, too exuberant to stand for any gross answer. God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers—at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!

The real question of life after death isn't whether or not it exists, but even if it does, what problems this really solves.
