Bertrand Russell was a famous anti-Christian philosopher and writer. He is one of the people that conservative religious people love to hate, those who still remember him. They like to portray him, as they portray all of the rest of us who reject their hard-line theology, as evil people. But I want to bring to your attention an important statement he made, and you tell me if you think this sounds like something an evil man would say:
“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
