			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>George Carlin Quotes</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><a href="http://leftofzen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/george_carlin.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-49" title="GCARLIN_WE_C_^_WEEKEND" src="http://leftofzen.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/george_carlin.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="303" /></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>1. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there&#8217;s an invisible man&#8230;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&#8217;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 burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>2. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Atheism: A non-prophet organization.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>3. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I&#8217;m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.worldofbiography.com/0063-Friedrich%20Neitzsche/images/Friedrich%20Neitzsche.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="250" /><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>4. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Which is it, is man one of God&#8217;s blunders or is God one of man&#8217;s?<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>5. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Faith means not wanting to know what is true.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>6. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Albert Einstein Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Albert-Einstein-Young-Magnet-C11750899.jpeg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>7. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of &#8220;humility.&#8221; This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>8. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. &#8230; Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man&#8217;s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Albert Einstein, &#8220;Religion and Science&#8221;, New York Times Magazine, 9 November 1930</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>9. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
<strong>Gandhi Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2006/09/22/svGANDHI_wideweb__470x395,0.jpg" alt="" width="405" height="342" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>10. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The most henious and the must cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mohandas K Gandhi, Young India, July 7, 1950, quoted from Laird Wilcox, ed., &#8220;The Degeneration of Belief&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>11. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Mark Twain Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.richardhenzel.com/twain.jpg" alt="" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>12. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">&#8220;It ain&#8217;t those parts of the Bible that I can&#8217;t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.&#8221;<br />
Mark Twain</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>13. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows.<br />
Mark Twain</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>14. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">What God lacks is convictions &#8212; stability of character. He ought to be a Presbyterian or a Catholic or something &#8212; not try to be everything.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>15. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.<br />
Mark Twain, quoted from Curmudgeon-Online</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>16. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">&#8220;In God We Trust.&#8221; I don&#8217;t believe it would sound any better if it were true.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Thomas Jefferson Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/beacon/fall06images/22-jefferson-bible/jefferson.jpg" alt="" width="131" height="150" align="left" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>17. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Shake off all fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>18. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We are afraid of the known and afraid of the unknown. That is our daily life and in that there is no hope, and therefore every form of philosophy, every form of theological concept, is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is. All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
<strong>Benjamin Franklin Quotes<br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:DCVa8GKs4s7XtM:http://www.synthstuff.com/mt/archives/ben_franklin.jpg" alt="" align="right" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>19. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Benjamin Franklin, the incompatibility of faith and reason, Poor Richard&#8217;s Almanack (1758)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>20. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Lighthouses are more helpful then churches.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><br />
Voltaire Quotes</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><img src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ixxP0MpIT6NAJM:http://www.constitution.org/img/voltaire.jpg" alt="" align="left" /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>21. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.<br />
Voltaire<br />

Stephen Hawking, NATURE, 1975</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>24. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We could call order by the name of God, but it would be an impersonal God. There&#8217;s not much personal about the laws of physics.</span></p>
