the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved. —Tim Minchin (Australian comedic minstrel) I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.

I never know if the quote is really from that person or not. ![[Image: 8a487e2d72e959c458857f1b72271166.gif]](https://i.ibb.co/GkGk2LF/8a487e2d72e959c458857f1b72271166.gif) (02-11-2021, 01:18 PM)Phaedrus Wrote:(02-11-2021, 01:16 PM)Gwaithmir Wrote: “The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible.” (Mark Twain) I can't cite the exact source of that quote, but as I recall, Hal Holbrook used it in his long-running stage show Mark Twain Tonight!

The pub is far but I will be careful. -- Russian Proverb Apropos of nothing, this triggered a memory of a comedy routine I saw once that referred to a particularly snooty church as "The First Church of the Frigidaire ... where many are cold, but few are frozen." (a humorous perversion of the Biblical aphorism, "many are called, but few are chosen").

"We do not wish to be forgiven, but we wish Christians to so act that we will not have to forgive them. If all will admit that all have an equal right to think, then the question is forever solved; but as long as organized and powerful churches, pretending to hold the keys of heaven and hell, denounce every person as an outcast and criminal who thinks for himself and denies their authority, the world will be filled with hatred and suffering. To hate man and worship God seems to be the sum of all the creeds.” (Robert G. Ingersoll)
