No Evidence Against A Firmly-held Belief, No

... We In The Usa Have Been Depending On Prayers, Pleading, And Self-abasement To A Deity To Bring Us Magical Advantages, And Have Been Encouraged To Attribute Our Prosperity And General Success Among Nations, To That Sort Of Action. In My Opinion, Hard Work And Dedication To Logic And Reason Ought To Be Recognized As The Reasons For Our Achievements, Not Appeals To A Mythical Friend-in-the-sky. We Got Where We Are In Spite Of, Not Because Of, Those Incantations.

To Make Sure That My Blasphemy Is Thoroughly Expressed, I Hereby State My Opinion That The Notion Of A God Is A Basic Superstition, That There Is No Evidence For The Existence Of Any God(s), That Devils, Demons, Angels And Saints Are Myths, That There Is No Life After Death, Heaven Nor Hell, That The Pope Is A Dangerous, Bigoted, Medieval Dinosaur, And That The Holy Ghost Is A Comic-book Character Worthy Of Laughter And Derision.

Science Is A Search For Basic Truths About The Universe, A Search Which Develops Statements That Appear To Describe How The Universe Works, But Which Are Subject To Correction, Revision, Adjustment, Or Even Outright Rejection, Upon The Presentation Of Better Or Conflicting Evidence.

Gods Are Children's Blankets That Get Carried Over Into Adulthood.

Magicians Are The Most Honest People In The World; They Tell You They're Gonna Fool You, And Then They Do It.
