One Of The Worst Things About Breaking The Law Is That It Puts One At Odds With An Indeterminate Number Of Other People. This Is Among The Many Corrosive Effects Of Having Unjust Laws: They Tempt Peaceful And (otherwise) Honest People To Lie So As To Avoid Being Punished For Behavior That Is Ethically Blameless.

Theology Is Ignorance With Wings.

It Is Safe To Say That Almost Every Person Living In New Orleans At The Moment Hurricane Katrina Struck Shared Your Belief In An Omnipotent, Omniscient, And Compassionate God. But What Was God Doing While Katrina Laid Waste To Their City? Surely He Heard The Prayers Of Those Elderly Men And Women Who Fled The Rising Waters For The Safety Of Their Attics, Only To Be Slowly Drowned There.

Atheism Is Just A Way Of Clearing The Space For Better Conversations.

Faith Does Not Offer A Strong Link Between Our Beliefs And Actual States Of The World.
