“A Teoria da Relatividade Geral de Einstein, publicada em 1915, foi uma revolução na física, propondo que a gravidade é o resultado da curvatura do espaço-tempo causada pela presença de massa e energia. A validação desta teoria foi um processo dedutivo e empírico meticuloso. Inicialmente, Einstein deduziu as implicações da teoria a partir de princípios fundamentais, como o Princípio da Equivalência, que sugere a indistinguibilidade local entre a gravidade e aceleração. A primeira grande validação empírica ocorreu em 1919, quando um eclipse solar permitiu que Arthur Eddington medisse a curvatura da luz ao redor do sol, confirmando as previsões de Einstein. Nos anos subsequentes, a teoria foi submetida a testes cada vez mais rigorosos. Por exemplo, observações de pulsares em sistemas binários forneceram dados que confirmaram a precisão da teoria com uma consistência de 99,99%. Esses testes empíricos, realizados ao longo de décadas, solidificaram a Teoria da Relatividade Geral como um dos pilares fundamentais da física moderna. E a teoria da relatividade está aqui a somente 100 anos, o Deus cristão existe há mais de 2.000 anos, e não conseguiu uma única prova.”

“A terhessé vált, autóból kidobva sorsára hagyott kutya napokig keresi a gazdáit, nem eszik, és szemlátomást igencsak szenved. Aki így szabadul meg egykori kedvencétől, az rendszerint azzal ámítja magát, hogy a kutya csak egy állat. Nem is gondol arra, hogy éppen úgy képes a szenvedésre, mint az ember, s a kutya az a kivételes állat, amely eltaszítását az emberhez, az embergyerekhez hasonlóan éli meg.”

They could not stop themselves from doing what they did. They did not see what they did, and even if they saw, they did not know how to stop. They no longer knew what was enough.”

“A terrorist, I think, is simply another kind of pornographer. The pornographer pretends he is disgusted by his work; the terrorist pretends he is uninterested in the means. The ends, they say, are what they care about. But they are both lying. Ernst loved his pornography; Ernst worshiped the means. It is never the ends that matter -- it is only the means that matter. The terrorist and the pornographer are in it for the means. The means is everything to them. The blast of the bomb, the elephant position, the Schlagobers and blood -- they love it all. Their intellectual detachment is a fraud; their indifference is feigned. They both tell lies about having ‘higher purposes.’ A terrorist is a pornographer.”
