Do you believe in wizards?

Hmmmmmmm………..
Ironic, don’t you think?”

Islam Was Like A Mental Cage
“Islam was like a mental cage. At first, when you open the door, the caged bird stays inside: it is frightened. It has internalized its imprisonment. It takes time for the bird to escape, even after someone has opened the doors to its cage.”

“We atheists can argue that, with the modern revolution in attitudes toward homosexuals, we have become the only group that may not reveal itself in normal social discourse.”

Conviction Doesn’t Make Them True
“One can be a true believe in anything: psychic ability, Christianity or, as Bertrand Russell put classically suggested (with irony), in the fact there is a teapot orbiting the earth.
I could believe any of those things with total conviction. But my conviction doesn’t make them true. Indeed, it is something of an insult to the very truth I might hold dear to say that something is true just because I believe it is”
