do you know Bertrand Russell?

Bertrand Russell, is a British Author, Mathematician, and a Philosopher.
I have discussed awhile ago about Friedrich Nietzsche, whose in the side
of being religious. Russell is in the opposition, he believes that "one must
have a first cause" in short, this man is an Atheist one. He never believes
instead he doubt about God's existence. I love how he defend his reasons.
Despite of all the opposed statements that he receives from the other,
he still continue what he believed.

"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it."
this one made him so authentic when it comes to his ideas. His skepticism
made people understand what he is trying to explain. And i am one of those
people who understands his way of reasoning, and i even agree of what he
is talking about.

But..

he also added..

"I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine."
I strongly agree with this statements. I also don't force anyone
to believe with what i am believing. I am just telling them where
i place myself and to what i believe. Maybe people are too sick of hearing
some words opposing the existence of God, but is it really being bad
to doubt about the existence of God?


"This is one of those views which are so absolutely absurd that only very
learned men could possibly adopt them." Life is really absurd, but it
is up to the people on how they will going to perceive on their own
way of living. Life is too ridiculous and people are too wicked, because
they don't know how to make our life meaningful.
