Bill Maher on 'talking snakes' (summation in Religulous)

"Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. And it's nothing to brag about." -- Bill Maher

"With or without religion, a good man can behave well and a bad man can do evil. But for a good man to do evil, well .. that takes religion." -- Steve Weinberg

Thomas Jefferson said "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites.

Mark Twain said of religion that man "has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste."

I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be--a Christian.
- Mark Twain's Notebook

Christianity will doubtless still survive in the earth ten centuries hence--stuffed and in a museum.

For sure, that's 100 percent certain.

Religion must die so mankind can survive. Sounds like a great idea. We certainly dont need more religous finatics in the world.

@barneyfifesbullet seriously -- was waiting for the talking snakes statement. What an assholish youtube posting

If there is a certain end of times then there is no free will. It is impossible to have a predetermined outcome and choice at the same time. Even a fool can see this unless they are a brainwashed fool.

@SonG0ku There is not even such a thing as good/bad. Its just an idea. There is simply... what is, what isn't... what works, what doesn't... what is more efficient, and what is inefficient.
