Why should I fear death?
If I am, then death is not.
If Death is, then I am not.
Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
Long time men lay oppressed with slavish fear.
Religious tyranny did domineer.
At length the mighty one of Greece
Began to assent the liberty of man.

هل الله يريد أن يمنع الشر ولكنه لا يستطيع؟ إذن فهو ليس كلي القدرة.
هل هو قادر على منع الشر ولكنه لا يريد ؟ إذن فهو خبيث وشرير النزعة.
هل هو قادر ويريد منع الشر؟ إذن من أين أتى الشر؟
هل هو غير قادر ولا يريد منع الشر؟ إذن لماذا نطلق عليه إله؟

When, therefore, we maintain that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasures of profligates and those that consist in sensuality, as is supposed by some who are either ignorant or disagree with us or do not understand, but freedom from pain in the body and from trouble in the mind. For it is not continuous drinkings and revelings, nor the satisfaction of lusts, nor the enjoyment of fish and other luxuries of the wealthy table, which produce a pleasant life, but sober reasoning, searching out the motives for all choice and avoidance, and banishing mere opinions, to which are due the greatest disturbance of the spirit.
