I get the feeling more and more that religion is being left behind.

There is great variation in brain power all the way from Einstien on one hand to Sarah Palin on the other.

The argument from improbability, properly deployed, comes close to proving that God does not exist.

God is the answer to all of those "How must it have come to be" questions.

One of the possible reasons why we might be good is that we're frightened, frightened of God. We want the reward in Heaven, we don't want to go to Hell. That would be an ignoble, ignominious reason for being good, and I think that if anybody was good to you just because they hoped for a heavenly reward, you wouldn't respect them, you'd probably give them a wide berth.

Religion is not the root of all evil, for no one thing is the root of all anything.

I've seen [Lalla Ward] episodes of "Doctor Who." They're good, at least partly because the scripts were written by Douglas Adams.
