Another Vonnegut Quote

[Chris Broderick]

"Do you know what a Humanist is? I am honorary
president of the American Humanist Association, having
succeeded the late, great science fiction writer Isaac
Asimov in that functionless capacity. We Humanists try
to behave well without any expectation of rewards or
punishments in an afterlife. We serve as best we can
the only abstraction with which we have any real
familiarity, which is our community. 

"We had a memorial services for Isaac a few years
back, and at one point I said, "Isaac is up in Heaven
now." It was the funniest thing I could have said to a
group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It
was several minutes before order could be restored.
And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will
say, "Kurt is up in Heaven now." That's my favorite
joke."
