If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever.

At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice.

God is not dead but alive and well and working on a much less ambitious project.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman A cult is a religion with no political power. Tom Wolfe (1931 - ) With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Steven Weinberg (1933 - ), quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999 This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Dalai Lama Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think. Arthur Shopenhauer |

History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972) In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) Scriptures, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based. Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914), The Devil's Dictionary Truth, in matters of religion, is simply the opinion that has survived. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) Since the whole affair had become one of religion, the vanquished were of course exterminated. Voltaire (1694 - 1778) 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 To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance. Eric Hoffer (1902 - 1983) The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. George Washington (1732 - 1799) One man's religion is another man's belly laugh. Isacc Azimov I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously. Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), Salmon of Doubt, 2002 If there is no God, who pops up the next Kleenex? Art Hoppe |
