I have not been able to discover whether there exists a precise French equivalent for the common Anglo-American expression 'killing time.' It's a very crass and breezy expression, when you ponder it for a moment, considering that time, after all, is killing us.

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

I say 'Merry Christmas' to people I don't know, or to people I know are Christians. I say 'Happy Hanukkah' to people I know to be or suspect to be Jewish. And I don't say 'Happy Kwanzaa,' because I think African Americans get enough insults all year round.

No moral person would do such a thing unless they thought it was divinely warranted.

The Postmodernists' tyranny wears people down by boredom and semi-literate prose.

I don't want them (religious followers) trying to inflict their belief on me.

You can only have one aim per debate.
