Quotes acceptance

Question 
Quotes acceptance
I came up with these quotes. I want to be associated with as many of them as I can.

Quote: "There is no proof that that any writings about religious beliefs are
divinely inspired by God. If you have no proof based on reality as only
an eye from any living species sees it, God cannot possibly exist based on
this undeniably critical thinking evidence. science is all based on fact,
but religion is not based on fact. Religion is based on imaginative
thinking which is not fact."
Quote:"Religion Owned by science."
Quote:"Critical thinking dies at the door to Religion"

RE: Quotes acceptance
You are absolutely right. It is a very rude and arrogant thing to demand a task such as that. I humbly apologize and I honestly didn't intended to be thought of as an arrogant, rude, asshole at the time I wrote the post. I should have been sleeping at 8 pm, not writing stupid half-wit posts that make me look like a FUCKING IDOIT!

Ok, let me rewrite that in a more socially appropriate manner:
On my own, I made these sentences up. I have a wish. My wish is to have as many of these sentences as I can get associated with me. Does someone on this forum know a way I can achieve my goal? If not, does someone know who or what I can communicate to in order to achieve my goal?

You seem nice, ill bite, could be fun Big Grin

The whole point of quotes is that they come from famous people. The reason they carry significance is because the person who made those quotes themselves have significance. As such, i suggest you start by winning a Nobel Prize or writing a best-selling book before actually making quotes.

As to the quotes themselves, the first one is not really a quote but an argument that is pretty easily destroyed by modern theologians, remember they have been working on it for 2000 years, you can't disprove God in a sentence.

The second one is meh. Too culturally specific (the word "owned" is far from mainstream).

The last one is decent, but a lot of much more (no offense) significant figures have been associated with similar quotes. It doesn't help that it is grammatically incorrect (the door "OF" religion instead of "TO" would be more appropriate).

Also, you "religious views" section i find a bit simplistic and rude, but i do have much milder positions on theists than most around here so this is purely and simply my opinion, dont take it too seriously Smile.

Finally, be wary of posting your actual name on the Internet, this is never a good idea (except, you know, on Facebook Tongue)

Hope this helps !

Good point. I could also just do anything that makes me famous without being an idiot about it, right?

Why not? What is your evidence? Is it the religionist's pathetic rationalizations?

True, but religion always gets owned by science. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the idea itself still stands.

Damn, but I liked it so much. Bad grammar can really fuck up a new
hopeful saying, can't it?
Has anyone come up with this version?
Critical thinking dies at the door of religion.
If not, can I save it in some way so I can use it if I become famous? Like trademarking it or something like that?

That's fine, I'm not offended. I'm sure that there are plenty of thrusts and atheists who are ok with the way things are because culture tells us from an early age to be tolerant of peoples beliefs and respect them, even if they ARE bullshit. I was taught the same thing, but when I learned how to critically think I saw how narrow-mindedness is sold to people through propaganda. They buy it in different ways and quantities, but they still buy it nevertheless. I think the world would be a better place without all of the narrow mindedness. If that was the case, we would not be fighting 2 wars in the Middle East right now. That's just one example. I want to change how the world thinks as to get rid of a lot of unnecessary problems in the world by utilizing science, critical thinking, and human constructiveness instead of narrow-mindedness.

Excellent idea. Check my last 2 posts in this thread.

Damn, with all of the crazies in the world they just might get the impression that David Tauraso is the devil! Which fallacy is that, guilt by association?

Love the joke...

...I'm done putting my name in the forums. I get it now, thanks.

I don't know if you did much better the second time around ... other than admitting to assholery. Wink But my suggestion would be to get famous or write a book. Preferably many.

"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
