...nothing to do with the above quote really, except that the following is one of my favourites;

"What a fool believes he sees, the wise man has the power to reason away".
Michael McDonald

I don't think he's particularly noted for his pearls of wisdom, but I like this lyric and I quite like the tune as well. Errm, sorry if this wasn't the kind of response you were looking for but I thought I'd just share :)

They do all the time...is everyone aware that a bloc of Muslim countries is trying to get the UN to make a binding resolution making blasphemy of religion illegal (with the support of most Christian sects too I might add)?.

Anways here's my quote:

"Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith and enable and elevate it are intellectual slave holders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction. " - Bill Maher
