On his Jewish grandmother, his atheism, his writing—and facing his own mortality
by Noah Richler
"I don’t think someone is religious unless they have faith in what St. Paul calls the evidence of things not seen—in other words, the supernatural or supervising deity, presence, force who requires and expects certain kinds of propitiation. If that’s not in your mind, then I don’t think you’re really a religious person at all."

If in a seminar you were to argue that I’ve committed a well-known fallacy by not deriving my conclusions from my premises and I reply, “You don’t know what you’re on about, I’ve just given 10 bucks to a homeless person,” my answer wouldn’t be accepted.
Yeah, because no one would believe it.
Yet another unfunny and unclever contribution from FGFM. He is a relentless bore.
You don’t know what you’re on about, I’ve just given 10 bucks to a homeless person!
