~ We waste a great deal of anxiety in protecting children from things they do not see at all.

~ The first duty of a human being is to assume right functional relation to society.

~ We are more carefully trained in not hurting people's feelings than the stark truth.

 ~ Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. Whosoever would be a man, must be a non-conformist.

~ The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.

~ One is often told it is a very wrong thing to attack religion because it makes men virtuous. So I am told; I have not noticed.

~ Faith is intellectual bankruptcy. If something is true we don't invoke faith. Truth does not ask to be believed.

~ gods are fragile things; they may be killed off by a whiff of science or a healthy dose of common sense.

~ Xianity has such a contemptable opinion of human nature, that it does not believe a man can tell the truth unless frightened by a god. No lower opinion of the human race has ever been expressed.

~ Faith in god necessarily implies a lack of faith in humanity!

~ Xians are insulted and incredulous when scientists state that humans evolved from "lower" life forms, yet, (YET!) have no problem with the bible stating the human race was created by a handful of dirt!
