"I'm an atheist ... how unfortunate it is to assign responsibility to the higher up for justice amongst people." -- from an interview with Matthew Rothschild in The Progressive, May 2000
From an 09-Oct-2002 Onion AV Club article titled Is There A God? [1]:
Singer, songwriter, guitarist, label mogul, and rock icon Ani DiFranco just released a live double album called So Much Shouting / So Much Laughter.
The Onion: Is there a God?
Ani DiFranco: Well, it depends on how you mean. In my book, no. I guess the quick answer would be "no" for me. I think, whatever my spiritual leanings are, that the deities are many and that we possess them. I do not assign responsibility to a higher being. I think that we're responsible to each other, and God is a metaphor.
