my kinda guy---well, you know what i mean:

In the end, you don't need a top-down entity to give life meaning. If anything, if nobody is out there, it is much more important to find meaning ourselves. Instead of this world being a mere staging for the next world of eternity -- meaning it doesn't really matter what we do now -- it's better to realize there is no eternity, that this is it. In that case, we better be careful what we do, make our choices consciously, treat people kindly and be moral because this life is what really counts.

I saw the Sherm on CSPAN's BookTV. He was preaching to the choir (me), but it's still nice to hear at least one smart person say something I agree with. Gives me just a wee bit of hope.
