To be against rationalization is not the same as to be opposed to reasoning.

A good liar must have a good memory.

There is an unusually high and consistent correlation between the stupidity of a given person and that person’s propensity to be impressed by the measurement of IQ.

I'm a single-issue voter, to get straight to the point. I'm really only interested in the candidate who's toughest and least apologetic when it comes to the confrontation with Islamic Jihadism.

Bertrand Russell used to employ the method of "evidence against interest"; in other words of deciding that a critique of capital punishment, say, carried more weight if it came from a prison governor. (My friend John O'Sullivan puts it like this: If the pope says he believes in God, he's only doing his job; if he says he doesn't believe in God, he may be on to something.)

There are all kinds of stupid people that annoy me but what annoys me most is a lazy argument.

Well, I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.
