“A good life can mean many things”: Meme from The Way of the Heathen

Greta Christina

"A good life can mean many things, and move in many directions. It doesn't have to constantly move forward."

“A good life can mean many things, and move in many directions. It doesn’t have to constantly move forward.”
-Greta Christina, The Way of the Heathen: Practicing Atheism in Everyday Life
(from Chapter 48, “Atheist Thoughts on a Life Well-Lived”)

I’m making a series of memes/ inspirational poster thingies with my favorite quotes from my new book, The Way of the Heathen: Practicing Atheism in Everyday Life. Please feel free to share this on social media, or print it and hang it on your wall if you like. (The image above is pretty big: you can click on it to get a bigger size if you like.)

    The Way of the Heathen is superbly well written. It combines excellent clear thinking laced with humor and good science. I cannot think of anything Greta has written that I disagree with.
