Atheism and Purpose

RE: Atheism and Purpose
(August 9, 2010 at 5:29 pm)Edward the Theist Wrote: Well, this is what I think about it: Atheists like to say I don't understand atheism because it's their first line of defense. You can't hit a moving target, so just keep moving the definition of atheism around.

Well, this is what I think about it: you're wrong.

'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
