“The best any human can do is to pick a delusion that
helps him get through the day”
― Scott Adams, God's Debris: A Thought Experiment

“God could easily appear and clear up the global religious chaos and confusion. But a delusion can never appear in reality.”
― C.J. Anderson, No Kingdom Come

“If you don't understand how something
works, never mind: just give up and say God did it. You don't
know how the nerve impulse works? Good! You don't understand
how memories are laid down in the brain? Excellent! Is photosynthesis
a bafflingly complex process? Wonderful! Please don't go
to work on the problem, just give up, and appeal to God.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

“The take-home message is that we should blame religion itself, not religious extremism - as though that were some kind of terrible perversion of real, decent religion. Voltaire got it right long ago: 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.' So did Bertrand Russell: 'Many people would sooner die than think. In fact they do.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
