About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Organized religion is one of the main sources of evil in the world. Always has been, always will be.
The best part of the Billy Connolly quote is reading it in his accent.
I wonder if this comment by Salman Rushdie is why he had to go into hiding! ;-)
In any event, I say ... Right On!
We don't need religion to do good in the world. We need empathy.
Scottie: They tell it like it is.
Debra: True, although I hope that someday the world will be free of it.
Bluzdude: Heh.....
Nan: Well, he also wrote a novel about religion that they didn't like very much. Nowadays he seems to figure that since he's already under threat of death, things can't get any worse, so he might as well say what he really thinks.
Martha: In a lot of people, religion seems to kill empathy. They see others as sinners or blasphemers, and nothing more.
A goldmine of quotes
All true. I've lived in my apartment for 20 years and every single year the pastor from the local church knocks on on doors inviting us to church this time of year. You would think after me saying no 20 times he would give up but noooo.
Adam: There's plenty more where these came from.
Mary: If he knew how to take no for an answer, he probably wouldn't be a pastor.
