More Stumble! found goodness:
“It doesn’t seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His precepts — there is just too much misery and cruelty for that.”
“I do not feel obliged to believe that same God who endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect had intended for us to forgo their use.”
[Galileo]
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away”.
“An atheist doesn’t have to be someone who thinks he has a proof that there can’t be a god. He only has to be someone who believes that the evidence on the God question is at a similar level to the evidence on the werewolf question.”
“… America is great because America is good. When America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
[Eisenhower erroneously quoting Alexis de Tocqueville]
From My Favorite Quotes.
“The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking … the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.”
