"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism." [Einstein]

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." [Lincoln]

"Religions are all alike – founded upon fables and mythologies." [Thomas Jefferson]

FAITH: not wanting to know what is true.

CORRUPTION: The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

CONTRADICTION: One often contradicts an opinion when it is really the tone in which it has been presented that is unsympathetic

-Nietzsche-
