I noticed tank has quotes from members in his "tag line" (having a brain fart, is that what it's called?) I would very much enjoy reading more of them. I like the idea of reading amazing quotes that were most likely blurted out in the middle of a conversation. It could be a locked sticky and only admins get to chose them. Kind of like a trophy case of logic.

Tag line = Signature

I see no reason why this thread shouldn't be the repository for home grown quotes; so I'll start.

"Something is true because it matches reality, not because some well-regarded person said it." - The Black Jester.
"Don't let someone else's bullshit ruin your day." - Will
"quoting the Bible doesn't convince atheists, as the Bible is not a holy book to us." - fester30

If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

I can't remember any of them, but Asmo has said a lot worth quoting.
Law 35- "You got to go with what works." - Robin Lefler

Wiggum:"You have that much faith in me, Homer?"
Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

Guardian85

Good idea.
But now I have to come up with something clever to say...  :-\


"If scientist means 'not the dumbest motherfucker in the room,' I guess I'm a scientist, then."

When one sleeps on the floor one need not worry about falling out of bed - Anton LaVey

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

...It might form an Asmo in the cosmic game of chance. Kind of like shaking a box of gears into a clock.  ;D

My personal favourite is the one of the few comprehensible statements uttered by Jacques Derrida: "If life was simple, word would have got round by now."
Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them (Orwell).

Anne D.

From Asmo: So, "spiritual but not religious" is pretty much "superstitious, but not in a union"
