Get away from all the stupid, ignorant people.
If the dark is just a thought
Then the light is in your mind
The lies we tell ourselves
Will ruin the world with time
Did you feel the way I felt?
Did you kneel the way I knelt?
Or did you look up and stare?
Waiting for your acts of prayer?
‘Almost every historic battle for free expression, from Socrates to Galileo, has begun as a struggle over what is and is not “blasphemy.”’- Hitchens - Feb 2009
It’s me lover Francesca Stavrakopoulou on The Big Questions! She’s so amazing and smart and brilliant. The Big Questions drives me mad. All of these religious people talking about Adam and Eve and stuff as if it actually happened. It’s bizarre. No-one seems to call them out on it.
Religious State in Egypt? Protests Heat Up
1:10 - Changing the slogan? How very Animal Farm (Orwellian). Four legs good, two legs better!
‘Any time anybody mentions honour, run for the hills ‘cos somebody’s about to die, okay and it’s usually for the least honourable thing ever’
‘What is the enemy of fundamentalism?
Knowledge, information, truth, facts.
So what’s the first thing they targeted? The schools.’
‘How many people choose their religion, and how many have it thrust upon them? “I was born a Catholic,” I was accustomed to say. In fact, I happened to be born to a Catholic mother and a Lutheran father who agreed that I would be raised in the Catholic church. The truth is, I was born as a baby boy.’
‘People think that race and religion are terribly important, even matters of life and death, when they may be mistaken about race and have never given much thought about why they belong to their religion. A good many people are prepared to kill on the basis of a religion that was chosen for them by a chance of birth.’
‘I know some parents whose choice is to let their children choose. They introduce them to their own religion, if they have one, and to other religions. What religion the child chooses—or none—is left to the child as an adult. I think that’s wise.’ - So do I, Roger. So do I.
