quote:Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religion conviction - Blaise Pascal
the world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence - Abu 'l ala Al Ma'arri (973-1057)
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one - George Bernard Shaw

Faith is believing something you know ain't true - Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
The way to see by faith is to shut the eyes to reason - Benjamin Franklin (Poor Richard 1758)
The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning and will probably do so 'till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up. - G. K. Chesterson (The Napoleon of Notting Hill 1904)
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd - Voltaire
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities - Voltaire
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of its opposers - William Penn (Fruits of Solitude)
And, in the future if you find such as these ... let them explain to you Genesis 19:5 to Genesis 19:8. Perhaps they can show using these verses exactly how good, loving, and wonderful their god is.
