Contemplative devotion for Easter moment: Of course, the atheist can reject Easter as just another fantasy by which we attempt to ascribe meaning to the world in order to escape the fact of death. Even if it were to be a glorified thought experiment, it still provides an interesting contrast by which we can understand the properties of a world in which life is but a moment of time. We can see in that situation there is no permanent value on which to base our lives, but every moral choice is fundamentally a choice unsupported by anything other than the manner by which we want to live. While that may seem to be emancipating, what it means is that there is no reason not to live as an amoral tyrant willing to sacrifice anything to one’s own end. (Daily Collegian)
