It's good to be passionate about reason, logic and provable truths; not so for nonsense. You have a nice quotation- here are two of my favourites:
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. (Voltaire)
No god, no heaven- these are fairy stories for those afraid of the dark. (Stephen Hawking; maybe not exact, I admit)
My need to speak out against religion coincides with the islamic fundamentalist atrocities of recent years; prior to that I failed to see the potential for harm...
Thanks to you all who have helped me get my frustrations into perspective! Just getting it off the chest is a relief.
Spread the word; stand up and be heard; challenge irrational belief and promote reason!
