“Roll a pair of dice long enough, someday you’ll get snake-eyes ten times in a row. Live long enough, someday you’ll have a month when your cat dies, your hard drive crashes, and you get pneumonia. It can feel like a pattern with a purpose — but it isn’t.”
-Greta Christina, The Way of the Heathen: Practicing Atheism in Everyday Life
(from Chapter 21, “Bad Luck and the Comfort of Reason)

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.)
