This crusade to separate church and state is only one expression of my raison d'รชtre. I'm an atheist, but I'm also an anarchist, and a feminist, and an integrationist.
Madalyn Murray O'HairI do know the Bible very well from a Protestant point of view - which is what, along with my reason, entitles me to refute it. You can't rationally reject something until you know all about it.

Madalyn Murray O'HairIf anybody wants to engage in any kind of sexual activity with any consenting partner, that is their business. I don't feel that I can sit in judgment on them, or that society can sit in judgment on them. Anybody can do anything they damn well please, as long as the relationship isn't exploitive. And I don't feel that legality should have anything to do with it.
