“As to harmonizing the theory of evolution with the Biblical account of creation, I do not believe it can be done, and I do not see why it should be. The story of Genesis is beautiful, and profoundly significant as symbolism: there is no good reason to torture it into conformity with modern theory.” ShouldBelieveReasonDoneStoriesBeautifulReligionModernCreationTheoryEvolutionAccountsSignificantTortureConformityBiblicalGenesisSymbolismTheory Of Evolution Author:Will Durant
“If the knowledge of torture of others makes you sick, it is a case of sympathy... It can be argued that behaviour based on sympathy is in an important sense egoistic, for one is oneself pleased at others' pleasure and pained at others' pain, and the pursuit of one's own utility may thus be helped by sympathetic action.” IfsMayImportantActionPainReligionPleasureCasesMoralitySickOneselfPursuitTortureBehaviourUtilitySympatheticPain And Pleasure Book:Choice, Welfare and Measurement Source: Choice, Welfare and Measurement
“Whence arose all the horrid assassinations of whole nations of men, women, and infants, with which the Bible is filled; and the bloody persecutions, and tortures unto death, and religiosu wars, that since that time have laid Europe in blood and ashes; whence arose they, but from this impious thing called religion, and this monstrous belief that God has spoken to man?” MenWarWholeReligionBeliefNationsBloodEuropeFilledTortureAshesBloodyPersecutionInfantMen WomenMonstrousAssassination Book:The Theological Works of Thomas Paine Source: The Theological Works of Thomas Paine

“Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.” PeopleIfsThinkingMenWantLifeNeedsEndsHumorMotivationalFunnyReligionSufferingMoneyWatchesForeverFireSkyAtheismMinutesSpecialLove YouTenAtheistConvincedListsInvisibleBurningSmokeTortureScreamAgnosticEnd TimesAnguishLive ForeverSpecial PlacesNeed MoneyFunny Bumper StickerFunny ReligiousFunny AtheistGreatest Atheist Author:George Carlin
