“Look, I don't know whether God exists. I don't know that. And I tell you one thing, I am not frightened of my beliefs. If there is a God who is threatening me with damnation because I don't believe in Him, so be it. I've lived my life in conscience, and I will suffer damnation willingly in conscience against a tyrannical God who would damn me because, on the basis of the intelligence He gave me, I have come to a conclusion doubting His existence, and I will continue to be a skeptic all of my life.” IfsKnowsBelieveLooksSufferingBeliefExistenceDoubtOne ThingConscienceBasesDon't BelieveConclusionDamnFrightenedThreateningSkepticDamnationGod ExistsIf There Is A GodWhether God Exists Author:Alan Dershowitz

All people must be equal--believers, skeptics, disbelievers, atheists, and those who chose religion. Unless we are all deemed equal, and unless the morality of disbelief is deemed the equivalent of the morality of belief, we will simply be tolerated, and that is not the American way.” PeopleWayStatesTogetherBeliefChurchMoralityEqualAtheistBelieverDisbeliefSkepticImpositionNon BelieverDisbelievers Author:Alan Dershowitz
“When I sent out a casual and nonscientific poll of my own to a wide cast of acquaintances, friends and colleagues, I was surprised, but not really, to learn that maybe 60 percent claimed a belief in a God of some sort, including people I would have bet were unregenerate skeptics. Others just shrugged. They don't think about this stuff. It doesn't matter to them. They can't know, they won't beat themselves up trying to know and for that matter they don't care if their kids believe or not.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsTryingBelieveMatterCareKidsBeliefStuffMy OwnAtheismBeatsPercentIncludingCastsDon't CarePositive AtheismWideColleaguesPollsAcquaintanceCasualSkeptic Author:Natalie Angier
