“Goodness is about what you do. Not who you pray to.”
~ Terry Pratchett ~
If you care about what other people think;
you will always be their prisoner.
~Lao Tzu~
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 am quite sure now that often, very often,
in matters concerning religion and politics
a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.
~ Mark Twain ~
When we try in good faith to believe in materialism,
in the exclusive reality of the physical, we are asking our selves to step aside;
we are disavowing the very realm where we exist
and where all things precious are kept
-- the realm of emotion and conscience, of memory and intention and sensation.
~ John Updike ~
I was greatly interested in the incident of Eve and the serpent,
~ Mark Twain ~
Satan hasn't a single salaried helper;

The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard
who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous.
But if by God one means the set of physical laws that govern the universe,
then clearly there is such a God.
This God is emotionally unsatisfying...
it does not make much sense to pray to the law of gravity.
~ Carl Sagan ~
"There are people who believe that humans and dinosaurs co-existed,
that they roamed the Earth at the same time.
There are museums that children go to,
in which they build dioramas to show them this.
And what this is, purely and simply, is a clinical psychotic reaction.
They are crazy. They are stone-cold-f*ck nuts.
I can't be kind about this, because these people
are watching The Flinstones as if it were a documentary."
~ Lewis Black ~
Sunday school: A prison in which children do penance
for the evil conscience of their parents.
~ H.L. Mencken ~
"How we behave toward cats here below
determines our status in heaven."
I don't need politicians doing a 24-hour prayer with Oral Roberts
to get our country back on track.
~ Lewis Black ~
There is but one honest limit to the rights of a sentient being;
it is where they touch the rights of another sentient being.
Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....
~Mark Twain~
“The church is always trying to get other people to reform,
it might not be a bad idea to reform itself a little, by way of example”
~ Mark Twain ~
Eleven o'clock on Sunday morning . . .
