“The typical atheist rebels against God as a teenager rebels against his parents. When his own desires or standards are not fulfilled in the way that he sees fit, he, in revolt, storms out of the house in denial of the Word of God and in scrutiny of a great deal of those who stand by the Word of God. The epithet 'Heavenly Father' is a grand reflection, a relation to that of human nature.” WayHumansDesireFatherHouseParentDealsHuman NatureFitStandardsReflectionRelationAtheistStormDenialTeenagerHeavenlyWord Of GodRebelFulfilledTypicalRevoltHeavenly FatherScrutinyTheistEpithet Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“Having a baby isn't so bad. If you're a female Emperor penguin in the Antarctic. She lays the egg, rolls it over to the father, then takes off for warmer weather where she eats and eats and eats. For two months, the father stands stiff, without food, blind in the 24-hour dark, balancing the egg on his feet. After the little penguin is hatched, the mother sees fit to come home.” IfsLittlesTwoHomeMotherFatherHoursDarkFeetBabyMonthsFitFemaleBlindLaysWeatherEggsComing HomeEmperorTwo MonthsHaving A BabyPenguinsEgg Rolls Author:L.

“I am a Libertarian. I want to be known as a Libertarian and a Constitutionalist in the tradition of the early James Madison - father of the Constitution. Labels change and perhaps in the old tradition I would be considered one of the original Whigs.

“My parents are both lawyers, and my father always said his best cases have been returns, cases that come into his office from another lawyer. So he said, "Never be ashamed to take a return."

“I think that we don't have, here in the Middle East or in Africa, as much threat to our physical and economic livelihood as women in other parts of the world. But the continuum is the same. The pressures on women to fit into a certain image of a good Muslim girl is the same. The controls and rules are the same, but there are different degrees of it. So, in America, a father will threaten a daughter that he will disown her if she marries the American boyfriend and in Pakistan she faces acid thrown on her face. The power dynamic is the same, it just expresses itself differently.” ThinkingWorldDifferentGirlFatherEconomicFitDaughterThreat Author:Asra Nomani
“I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm.
