Marx called religion an opiate, and all too often it is. But philosophy is an anaesthetic, a shot to keep the wonder away Picture Quote #1

Science, not religion, has taught me my most useful values, among them intellectual honesty. It is better to go without answers than to accept those that merely resolve puzzlement Picture Quote #1

The only business in the world bigger than gambling is religion... but gambling is not nearly so corrupt Picture Quote #1

We talk religion in a world that worships the bread but does not distribute it, that practices ritual rather than righteousness, that confesses but does not repent Picture Quote #1
