There Ain’t No Cure For Religion
Bill Maher: Christians have neurological disorder:
We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think that religion stops people from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.
Not just Christians, as the article’s author emphasizes, but ALL religious folk. Funny.
I admire Maher’s tenacity.
My favourite quote about religion:
“Star Trek is a crutch for people who can’t deal with reality.”
There’s a bunch:
“Reality is a crutch for people who can’t deal with Star Trek.”
“God is a concept by which we measure our pain.” (John Lennon)
“Pain is a concept by which we measure God.” (Phillip Cairns)
Etc. I’ve had a long day. Don’t feel like typing.
