The heretical quotes hanging in my classroom.

The principal, the vice principal, the school counselor, and over 25+ parents have seen these. I have received no complaints, so far.

I wonder how many of those people are enlightened enough to actually ponder these quotes.

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the non-existence of Zeus or Thor - but they have few followers now.

— Arthur C. Clarke - British science-fiction author and inventor. Ardent atheist. The film 2001: A Space Odyssey was based on his short story “The Sentinel.” In the future envisioned in his novel 3001, religion has become taboo; the blood-soaked religions of the past, are viewed as barbaric. The dinosaur species Serendipaceratops arthurcclarkei is named after him. (via helvetebrann)

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”

-Epicurus

A response to my recent post regarding a gay adoption battle:

“Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.”
