The Faith Of Religion Is Belief On

Nonbelievers Like Myself Stand Beside You, Dumbstruck By The Muslim Hordes Who Chant Death To Whole Nations Of The Living. But We Stand Dumbstruck By You As Well--by Your Denial Of Tangible Reality, By The Suffering You Create In Service To Your Religious Myths, And By Your Attachment To An Imaginary God.

Martin Luther And John Calvin Advocated The Wholesale Murder Of Heretics, Apostates, Jews, And Witches.

If Our Well-being Depends Upon The Interaction Between Events In Our Brains And Events In The World, And There Are Better And Worse Ways To Secure It, Then Some Cultures Will Tend To Produce Lives That Are More Worth Living Than Others; Some Political Persuasions Will Be More Enlightened Than Others; And Some World Views Will Be Mistaken In Ways That Cause Needless Human Misery.

A Person Who Believes That Elvis Is Still Alive Is Very Unlikely To Get Promoted To A Position Of Great Power And Responsibility In Our Society. Neither Will A Person Who Believes That The Holocaust Was A Hoax. But People Who Believe Equally Irrational Things About God And The Bible Are Now Running Our Country. This Is Genuinely Terrifying.

You Don't Get Anything Worth Getting, By Pretending To Know Things You Don't Know.
