Despite the odds, I remain impious. No matter how powerful the dictator, I will fight on the side of justice.
Do you not find hell to be terrifying? Maybe, but I can't let my morals compromise your well-being.
The question "where do you draw your values from?" is one I, as an atheist, am frequently asked. That which defines us, I argue, is honesty, doing no more harm than necessary, and prioritizing the happiness of all concerned.
