“A religião apresenta-se como mero estímulo dos sentidos espirituais e nunca como um caminho verdadeiro ou enquanto alimento para a alma”

“A religião e a criação das bombas atômicas é um tema que precisa ser analisado com mais cuidado, e menos acusações. De fato, o Projeto Manhattan, que levou ao desenvolvimento das bombas atômicas lançadas sobre Hiroshima e Nagasaki em 1945, envolveu muitos cientistas de diversas origens religiosas. Robert Oppenheimer, que liderou o projeto, era de origem judaica, e muitos outros cientistas envolvidos tinham diferentes crenças religiosas.
Albert Einstein, embora não tenha participado diretamente do Projeto Manhattan, foi um dos que alertaram sobre o potencial desenvolvimento de armas nucleares pela Alemanha nazista. Ele era um deísta, acreditando em um Deus não intervencionista, e enfrentou discriminação na Europa por suas crenças religiosas e sua origem judaica.
A questão da religião e da ciência é complexa e multifacetada. A ciência, como um método de investigação, é neutra em relação a crenças religiosas, mas os cientistas, como indivíduos, trazem suas próprias crenças e valores para o seu trabalho. A nova onda de ateísmo ganhou força nas últimas décadas, especialmente com o avanço da ciência e a secularização de muitas sociedades.
Então, não, usar a bomba atômica como forma de jogar a bola no terreno da ciência para defender religião não funciona. Menos ainda acusar o ateísmo de ser responsável por mortes em massa como no caso de Putin e Hitler.”

“A religião é o resto de um período da humanidade onde não tínhamos quase nenhum conhecimento da realidade, hoje sabemos até o que existe dentro do átomo. Estórias foram necessárias para criar uma realidade comum, e gerar integração social, e Deus teve seu papel. Não precisamos mais, não haverá desordem, não haverá decadência da moral, nada disso que religiosos falam: o medo não funciona mais como forma de manter a sociedade coerente. Os números mostram o oposto. Países ateus são: menos violentas, mais bondosos, maior IDH e maior QI.”

“A Remarkable Woman
She is so exquisite
Even without makeup on her face
She is very special
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has a big heart
Even though she appears small
She lets others belong
But she longs to be appreciated
She adds value
Despite her worth being undermined
She is attentive
Nonetheless, no one pays attention to her needs
She is patient
No matter how long it takes, she waits
She is generous
While no one could be willing to give
She is forgiving
Much as the worst was done against her
She is trusting
Albeit her trust was broken countless times
She is wise
In spite of being treated otherwise by some
She works hard
Notwithstanding that she requires rest
She is helpful
Yet, there is none to lend her a hand
She makes life seem easy
Whilst going through difficult times herself
She stands by others
Although there is no one to stand by her
She chooses to be peaceful
Against being somehow provoked
She is calm
Undeterred by what is not
She is bold
In defiance of tough battles ahead
She shows bravery
Still in the presence of adversity
She is fearless
Though she may seem helpless
She is spirited
Contrary to attempts to bring her down
She is never destroyed
Irrespective of the storms she faces sometimes
She keeps moving forward
Granting the hindrances along the way
She stands in the gap
And makes things happen
She does not look down on others
Regardless of some doing so to her
She recognises those who shielded her on rainy days
Whenever the sun shines upon her
She keeps running her race
Because she knows for her, grace is abundant
She wears a smile always
Since prayer keeps her in the right place
She is an inspiration
A pioneer of transformation
Cheerleader for economic revolution
How the world adores such
A remarkable woman!”

“A remarkably revealing portrait.”
“A remedy [for masturbation] which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anaesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.”
“A remembrance can mean nothing to the one remembered; it can only remind the ones left behind how little they did while you were still alive.”

“A remembrance stored anywhere is greater than being forgotten everywhere.”
“A reminder (Japan's earthquake and tsunami) how flimsy our sophisticated modern world really is”
“A reminder, in itself, takes tremendous mental effort by you. It requires knowing what needs to be done, remembering what needs to be done, and reminding someone to get it done, whereas the person being reminded gets off easy. He doesn't have to remember a thing, nor does he worry about forgetting. And if you think about it, reminding and praising is the daily work of parenting children, not partnering with husbands.”

“A reminder that underground can cause quite the spectacle.”
“A reminder to exercise and drink plenty of water:
Cellular chemicals greedily tear the molecular structure of glucose apart to extract its sugary energy. This energy extraction is so violent that atoms are literally ripped asunder in the process. As in any manufacturing process, such fierce activity generates a fair amount of toxic waste. In the case of food, this waste consists of a nasty pile of excess electrons shredded from the atoms in the glucose molecules. Left alone, these electrons slam into other molecules within the cell transforming them into one of the most toxic substances known to humankind. They are called free radicals. If not quickly corralled, they will wreck havoc on the innards...causing mutations in your very DNA.
The reason you don't die of electron overdose is that the atmosphere is full of breathable oxygen. The main function of oxygen is to act like an efficient electron absorbing sponge. At the same time the blood is delivering foodstuffs to your tissues, it is also carrying those oxygen sponges. Any excess electrons are absorbed by the sponges, and after a bit of molecular alchemy, are transformed into equally hazardous but now fully transportable CO2. The blood is carried back to your lungs where the CO2 leaves the blood and you breathe it out... keeping the food you eat from killing you.
This is why blood has to be everywhere inside you serving as both wait staff and hazmat team. Any tissue without blood is going to starve to death, your brain included.”

“A renaissance in cellular biology has recently revealed the molecular mechanisms by which thoughts and perceptions directly influence gene activity and cell behavior...Energy psychology, through its ability to rapidly identify and reprogram limiting misconceptions, represents the most powerful and effective process to enhance physical and emotional well being.”
“A renegade is someone who chooses the narrow way because it's the Jesus way . . . the way of life, health and growth.”
“A renewed and Pandemic cleansed Earth will emerge, like the Sun after rain.”
“A renewed gathering of the followers of Jesus must break into the world, and break up the world. The gathering where bread is broken, stories shared, and prayers are offered reminds the local community that they are implicated in a narrative of peace. Such a renewed gathering also breaks up the constant work expected by chrematistic institutions. The gathering in God’s name to proclaim the message of grace, reminding each other that all are invited into partnership with God, and giving thanks for a creation that has enough for all is an act of defiance in the face of chrematistic institutions promoting works righteousness, limited success for only the most devoted apostles, and a philosophy of private ownership and scarcity.”

“A renowned genius once asked a student, "What are you watching when you sit on a hillside in the late afternoon as the colors turn from yellow to orange and red and finally darkness?" He answered, "You are watching the sunset." The genius responded, "That is what is wrong with our age. You know full well you are not watching the sun set. You are watching the world turn."”

“A rentier is an investor whose relationship to a company or enterprise is strictly limited to the ownership of financial wealth (such as stocks or bonds) and the receipt of income on that wealth (such as dividends or interest). The financial system performs dismally at its advertised task, that of efficiently directing society's savings towards their optimal investment pursuits. The system is stupefyingly expensive, gives terrible signals for the allocation of capital, and has surprisingly little to do with real investment.”
