就我个人而言,我一直对那些大声宣称上帝不存在的作家和名人感到好奇。通常是在他们健康、受欢迎、被人群倾听的时候。我想知道,在死亡前的安静时刻会发生什么?到那时,他们已经失去了舞台,世界已经前进。如果在他们最后的喘息时刻,由于恐惧、异象、迟来的启蒙,他们突然改变了对上帝的看法,谁会知道呢?(Personally, I always wondered about authors and celebrities who loudly declared there was no God. It was usually when they were healthy and popular and being listened to by crowds. What happens, I wondered, in the quiet moments before death? By then, they have lost the stage, the world has moved on. If suddenly, in their last gasping moments, through fear, a vision, a late enlightenment, they change their minds about God, who would know?)
