I’m not an atheist, I’m an anti-theist. I don’t, in myself have any desire to live in a permanent, unalterable dictatorship. I don’t wish it was true that I could be convicted for thought-crime for what I was thinking when I was asleep, let alone for what I was thinking when I was awake.
And I don’t wish for a dictatorship I know I had no part in choosing, that would not cease to torment me when I died.
