Quotes that I like:
"It's all about the truth, people. And all the evidence is crystal clear right now: the earth is far older than 6,000 years. Evolution is a real, and it is a process built on raw chance driven by the brutal engines of selection, and there is no sign of a loving, personal god, but only billions of years of pitiless winnowing without any direction other than short-term survival and reproduction. It's not pretty, it's not consoling, it doesn't sanctify virginity, or tell you that god really loves your foreskin, but it's got one soaring virtue that trumps all the others: it's true."
PZ Myers
Secular Humanism Conference 2010
"Religion, by its very nature as an untestable belief in undetectable beings and an unknowable afterlife, disables our reality checks. It ends the conversation. It cuts off inquiry: not only factual inquiry, but moral inquiry. Because God's law trumps human law, people who think they're obeying God can easily get cut off from their own moral instincts. And these moral contortions don't always lie in the realm of theological game-playing. They can have real-world consequences: from genocide to infanticide, from honor killings to abandoned gay children, from burned witches to battered wives to blown-up buildings."

"Reason is the ultimate bulldozer, and we need to see it used more often."

Channel Description
"It's worth keeping in mind that none of the Christians who try to insist that agnosticism is "more reasonable" than atheism will turn this around and apply it to themselves. They won't accept that agnosticism might be more reasonable than their own theism. They want the privilege of being able to make dogmatic, unfalsifiable, and unalterable claims that some particular god exists while insisting that it's unreasonable for you to even suggest that no gods may exist, never mind positively assert that none do."

And now, some wisdom from the creationist/Christian fundamentalist crowd:
"even if gays were "born that way" it is still a sin. They need to remain a virgin for their entire life so as not to sin against God."

"Do I want homosexuals to 'feel isolated and ashamed to the point of suicide'? Of course not. I want them to feel isolated and ashamed to the point of repentance."
