Godless Quotes

  1. That's a two way street. Richard Dawkin's has a "religious OPINION" as well. You have a religious opinion that also is forefront in your life.

  2. But Richard Dawkins', and also my, "religious opinion" does not expect to be respected. We want it to be held up to the light of reason, critical thinking, rationality, common sense, based on repeatable empirical evidence.

    My views stand up to that rigorous analysis perfectly. (If they didn't, I'd change them.) Religious beliefs fails miserable and is left wearing a big fat red clown nose.
