...view the entirety of existence through the lens of a book that was written at the same time people thought that the sun was moved by magic. You have to convince yourself that the universe isn't complicated and vast, but small and simple.
On the centillion (one million to the hundredth power)-to-one chance I'm wrong, I'd much rather spend eternity in hell than with a deity who chooses to set the rules at odds like this. The whole "You can learn how the universe works, but don't accept that knowledge because I gave you a book to believe in instead" is bullshit, and if any deity wants my love or respect, he, she or it should learn that respect and love are earned. That's where the heart of the blasphemy challenge lies for me.

I was dead for 45 seconds during my heart surgery. Spoiler:
Nothing happened. I was not aware. It was as if someone simply shut me down.
