“Willful ignorance is an insult to the collective of human intelligence. Considering the vast amount of knowledge that is easily available, it is unconscionable that there remain living human beings who still believe in a young earth, creationism, the efficacy of prayer, the concept of original sin and the role that human sacrifice plays in its atonement, or any one of the literally hundreds of other aspects of religious dogma and doctrine that should have been abandoned half a century ago.”

“Comparing the vast knowledge base that has been accumulated, tested and proven for evolution, the continuing flow of new information that further adds to the knowledge base and a century and a half of unsuccessful attempts to falsify it by the scientific community, it becomes inconceivable that anyone still believes in the bizarre details of the Genesis creation myth.”

“We have no use for gods, holy books, heaven, hell, souls, salvations, sin, prayer, creed, doctrine or dogma, as these things are about as influential to us as an ice-cube on the surface of the sun.”

“The collective intelligence of the humanity is the sole result of human inquiry. It is through reason and the exercise of a free mind that overcomes superstition, and if there be a better future for mankind, it will come through us, not through those who are clinging to the last fragments of a decaying system of belief”

“There is no equality between fact and fiction, and anyone who purports themselves to be an academic and still puts religious dogma up as an ante doesn’t deserve the right to be called anything other than an ignoramus.”

“Every aspect of the deeply religious persons life revolves around the delusion of a god. Once this belief is set, then science is reduced to the religious concepts of good and evil”

“The fixation that believers have about avoiding certain sexual sins extends to the virtual exclusion of everything else. It renders as evil nearly everything connected with sex outside of marriage, as well as certain sexual acts between married couples. It would appear that God has a vindictive fixation on human genitalia. I suppose the whole circumcision thing should have been a dead giveaway right from the get-go.”
