Creationists use facts the same way a drunk uses a lightpost: for support instead of illumination

My objection to Christianity is that it is infinitely cruel, infinitely selfish, and, I might add, infinitely absurd.

Nothing could add to the horror of hell, except the presence of its creator, God. While I have life, as long as I draw breath, I shall deny with all my strength, and hate with every drop of my blood, this infinite lie.

To be like other people is to be unlike ourselves.

I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.

All religions are inconsistent with mental freedom. Shakespeare is my bible, Burns my hymn-book.

I believe in the religion of reason -- the gospel of this world; in the development of the mind, in the accumulation of intellectual wealth, to the end that man may free himself from superstitious fear, to the end that he may take advantage of the forces of nature to feed and clothe the world.
