    Literature: Boring atheism

    [Print] | [PDF] | [Email]

    A. N. Wilson has recently returned to Christianity.  He’s asked in an interview, “What’s the worst thing about being faithless?”

    “The worst thing about being faithless? When I thought I was an atheist I would listen to the music of Bach and realize that his perception of life was deeper, wiser, more rounded than my own. Ditto when I read the lives of great men and women who were religious.

    “Reading Northrop Frye and Blake made me realize that their world-view (above all their ability to see the world in mythological terms) is so much more INTERESTING than some of the alternative ways of looking at life.”
