Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, religion no longer offers an explanation for anything important.

I don't think it's possible to have a sense of tragedy without having a sense of humor.

The politicized sponsors of this pseudoscientific nonsense should be ashamed to live, let alone die. If you want to take part in the “war” against cancer, and other terrible maladies, too, then join the battle against their lethal stupidity.

Cheap booze is a false economy.

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

A virgin can conceive. A dead body can walk again. Your leprosy can be cured. The blind can see. Nonsense. It’s not moral to lie to children. It’s not moral to lie to ignorant, uneducated people and tell them that if they only would believe nonsense, they can be saved. It’s immoral.

The thing about religion is that it's the first and the worst. The worst because it's the first.
