“When it comes to bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion... Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do.” PeopleMenStoriesReligionWatchesSkyPromiseClaimsConvincedInvisibleAll TimeChampionAweBullshitExaggeratedDiseasedFalse Promises Author:George Carlin
“A woman called Rose has written to me every day for the last 15 years. That's dedication. It's not quite fan mail, but a woman in Frome, Somerset, thought she was married to me. She was so convinced, it actually ended up in court, which was a drag. You can only claim that in a court of law once in your life.” YearsLastsLawWrittenFansMarriedClaimsCourtRoseConvincedMailDedicationDragFan Mail Author:Tony Blackburn
“I don't agree with a core statement by most feminists, the statement by Simone de Beauvoir: "One is not born a woman, one becomes one."

“My mother converted when I was 16. She was the driving force behind religion in our family. So, I'm sure I was heavily influenced by that.

“I'm convinced that the Christian claim is really true, that this is just a warm up to the big event. That this is just the appetizer to the feast, and if we can plug into that and understand that this part of our story is just the introduction, it is not even the first line of the first paragraph, it's just the first letter or first word. We are just getting started.” IfsFirstsStoriesBigsChristianLinesEventsLettersClaimsWarmConvincedIntroductionParagraphPlugsReally TrueAppetizersGetting StartedBig Events Author:Max Lucado
“When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.” WritingYearsHas BeensBookFactsShowsDreamWould BeChristianLawScienceMy OwnCareersAtheismSpecialOne DayYears AgoLogicScientistClaimsTwentiesAtheistConvincedPhysicsTheologyConclusionBranchesWriting A BookStraightforwardTheismDeductionsLaws Of PhysicsIf There Is A GodInexorableWildest DreamsScience PhysicsGod And ScienceChristian TheologyScience GodChristian ScienceScience Books Author:Frank J.
