Armand and Louis

"But if evil is without gradation, and it does exist this state of evil, then only one sin is needed. Isn't that what you're saying? That God exists and-"
"I don't know if God exists. And for all I know, he doesn't."
"Then no sin matters. No sin achieves evil"
"That's not true. Because if God doesn't exist we are the creatures of highest consciousness in the universe. We alone understand the passage of time and the value of every minute of human life. Whether a man would have died tomorrow, or the day after, or eventually... it doesn't matter. Because if God does not exist, this life... every second of it... is all we have."
