Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.

Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window.

Stephen King

Mark Twain

Quote Of The Day
