Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make when in the presence of religious dogma.

There must be right and wrong answers to questions of morality and values that potentially fall within the purview of science. On this view, some people and cultures will be right (to a greater or lesser degree), and some will be wrong, with respect to what they deem important in life.

We know enough at this moment to say that the God of Abraham is not only unworthy of the immensity of creation; he is unworthy even of man.

What are the chances that we will one day discover that DNA has absolutely nothing to do with inheritance? They are effectively zero.

The atheist, by merely being in touch with reality, appears shamefully out of touch with the fantasy life of his neighbors.

From my point of view, compatibilism is a little like saying: a puppet is free so long as it loves its strings.

Nonbelievers like myself stand beside you, dumbstruck by the Muslim hordes who chant death to whole nations of the living. But we stand dumbstruck by you as well--by your denial of tangible reality, by the suffering you create in service to your religious myths, and by your attachment to an imaginary God.
