"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." -- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) who never even met Dubya

Religion's gone the way of the Santa Claus: Hey it was nice while it lasted, but it's time to grow up.
--Tommy Gleason

Think about it - it's the easiest, crappiest music in the world, right?
If we just sing about how much we love Jesus, all the Christians will buy our crap.
-- Eric Cartman

I've got nothing against God;
it's his Fan Club I can't stand.

"There is a particular danger with a war that God commands. What if God should lose?"

"That is unthinkable to the evangelicals". "They cannot accept the idea of second-guessing God, and he was the one who led them into war. Thus, in 2006, when two thirds of the American people told pollsters that the war in Iraq was a mistake, the third of those still standing behind it were mainly evangelicals (who make up about one third of the population). It was a faith-based certitude."
-- Garry Wills, in "A Country Ruled by Faith"

"A government cannot be premised on the belief that all persons are created equal when it asserts that God prefers some"
-- Harry Blackmun

"There was a time when religion ruled the world.
It is known as the dark ages."
-- Ruth Hermence Green

Organized Religions have nothing to do with spirituality or an individual's relationship with the higher power they believe in. They are tools used by people to keep large numbers of followers walking the path they promote and to further their own agendas.
-- Scott Bannon

The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
-- Sir Richard Francis Burton
