“Christian faith is the habit of flouting Reason in forming and maintaining one’s answer to the question of whether there is a god. Its essence is the determination to believe that there is a god no matter what the evidence may be.” (Richard Robinson)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
"We are thus enjoined to pretend that we don’t care what others think precisely because others will think ill of us if they think we care about what they think."
— Normal Now, Mark G.E. Kelly
"Humanity's self-alienation has reached a point where it can experience its own annihilation as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order."
- Walter Benjamin, writing in 1935 -- but it's even more true today.
“I leave it to the faithful to burn each other's churches and mosques and synagogues, which they can be always relied upon to do”
― Christopher Hitchens
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
“One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.” (Pam Brown)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
“The idea of the likes of Donald Trump lecturing anybody on family values…
I mean, I’m sorry but one thing about my marriage is it’s never involved me having to send hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse, with him or her. So, if they want to debate family values, let’s debate family values, I’m ready.” Pete Buttigieg after being asked how he’d respond to Donald Trump taking swipes at marriages like his.
