“PRONOIA: The irrational belief that people like you”
“To enlighten people by reminding them the irrationality of their beliefs is an act more honest and more important than the act of praising and respecting people’s beliefs!”
“What we call rational grounds for our beliefs are often extremely irrational attempts to justify our instincts.”
“But you must still know to respect other people's faith.''Why? We don't respect any other delusion. We lock up people who believe they're Christ, yet we're supposed to humour those who believe in him.''By definition, faith is irrational: a belief you hold against the normal rules of evidence.''In which case I believe in Jedi”
“The belief in a god is irrational, and once this leap of faith is made it only takes short steps to abandon the standards of rationality and lose the ability to distinguish truth from falsehoods.”
“What people really believe doesn't feel like a BELIEF, it feels like the way the world IS.”
