Was Nietzsche right?

....That thought takes my mind train onto a sidetrack.

Voltaire wrote about 250 years ago: "Si Dieu n'existait pas, il faudrait l'inventer."
Translation: "If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him."

That's just so subtly subversive! I love that! The way he says without putting in words that he is a non-believer....Delicious! If irony didn't exist in 1770, Voltaire invented it, I think.

Another sidetrack: A joke this time.

The problem with atheists is: who do they talk to during sex?

Today's MindPOD refrain: "...they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot..."
