Yes I can do the quote game too! Isnt it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams Atheism is a requirement for a complete human being. Religion is a crutch that is shackled to you, one you never really needed in the first place, but were convinced by others that you couldnt live without. Once you discover its only an illusion, that its not even a real crutch, you discard it gladly. -Brent Yaciw Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it cant be taken on its own merits. --Dan Barker, former evangelist Nature, you say, is totally inexplicable without a God. That is to say, to explain what you understand very little, you have need of a cause which you understand not at all. -- Baron dHolbach, Good Sense I recall the story of the philosopher and the theologian. The two were engaged in disputation and the theologian used the old quip about a philosopher resembling a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat—which wasnt there. That may be, said the philosopher: but a theologian would have found it. -- Julian Huxley, The Creed of a Scientific Humanist Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, This is an interesting world I find my self in - an interesting hole I find my self in - fits me rather neatly, doesnt it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it! This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, its still frantically hanging on to the notion that everythings going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for. - Douglas Adams We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing/ all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes. - Gene Roddenberry
