“I feel the gods are pretty dead, though I suppose I ought to know that however, to be somewhat more philosophical in the matter, if atheism means simply not being a theist, then of course I'm an atheist.

― John Ortberg Jr., Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them: How Community Pays Tremendous Dividends in Happiness, Health, Support, and Growth
