Asimov on religion

January 2nd, 2007 · Posted by Skuds in Life · No Comments · Life

I used to read a lot of Isaac Asimov, but I barely scratched the surface – he wrote something like 500 books and I only have about 50 of them. Incidentally, how do you manage to write 500 books? Thats an average or 7 or 8 a year if you start as soon as you are born!

Anyway, I was trying to find out about a band called Asimov and came across this nifty quote from Isaac Asimov:

If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul.

Nice one.

Maybe this year I will finally get around to re-reading all the Foundation and Robot books which I have been meaning to do for quite some time now.
