I don't think Romney is wacky at all, but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own, Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri, and will be again.

Human beings are pattern-seeking animals who will prefer even a bad theory or a conspiracy theory to no theory at all.

Religion is not the belief there is a god. Religion is the belief god tells you what to do.

I have no time to waste on this planet being told what to do by those who think that God has given them instructions.

In a Pyongyang restaurant, don't ever ask for a doggie bag.
