Atheism in innocence
Atheists don't experience god/s, virgins don't
experience sex, ignorance is bliss, the mentally retarded in olde Switzerland
were called christians --"chretien" in the french, 'cretin' now in
english. atheism, virginity, ignorance, innocence are all ... a kind of
virtue? Is the lack of experience positive? does it add some quality to the
human experience? Without experience, is a person more human, more pure, more
knowledgable? Is it possible that without the common experiences of other
people, atheists ... or virgins ... or the ignorant ... might have something
that others don't?
- tpkunesh 1996
"... innocence -- not a lack of experience,
but an absence of need for illusions,
a love and respect for what is
right before your eyes."
-- Marius to Lestat, in Anne Rice's
the Vampire Lestat
