ATHEISM LEFT AN EMPTY PLACE IN HIS SOUL

ATHEISM LEFT AN EMPTY PLACE IN HIS SOUL

Looking at a picture of the great scholar Bertrand Russell in his later years made me feel sad. Although his face reflected courage, it was grim and showed no sign of joy or hope. He was born into a Christian home and taught to believe in God, but he rejected his training and became an outspoken atheist. His daughter, Katherine Tait, said of him, "Somewhere at the bottom of his heart, in the depths of his soul, there was an empty space that once had been filled by God, and he never found anything else to put in it." -- 2700-plus Illustrations, hdm0186, by DVM
