  6. The most dangerous thing in today’s world aren’t people who are like Hitler.

    What’s most dangerous is a lot of good people who insist on believe people who are like Hitler aren’t like Hitler.

    A lot of people, who want so hard to believe that everything is still allright, that when people who are like Hitler say they’re for: ”peace and freedom”, they drop everything they’ve learned, sigh of relief, and cling to their illusions even harder.

  7. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Does any intelligent man now believe that God made man of dust, and woman of a rib, and put them in a garden, and put a tree in the midst of it? Was there not room outside of the garden to put his tree, if he did not want people to eat his apples?
       If I did not want a man to eat my fruit, I would not put him in my orchard.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Lecture (1884-01-20), “Orthodoxy,” Tabor Opera House, Denver, Colorado

  10. My husband put some leftover chicken outside. He just closed the door behind him and Tux is giving him a look of pure disbelief, lol. "Is this really for me?"

    Judging from how quickly he emptied that bowl, this may be the way to finally tame this stubborn fella 😂

  11. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Nothing is so pleasing to these gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.

    Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

  12. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Some comfort it would have been, could I, like a Faust, have fancied myself tempted and tormented of the Devil; for a Hell, as I imagine, without Life, though only diabolic Life, were more frightful: but in our age of Down-pulling and Disbelief, the very Devil has been pulled down, you cannot so much as believe in a Devil. To me the Universe was all void of Life, of Purpose, of Volition, even of Hostility: it was one huge, dead, immeasurable Steam-engine, rolling on, in its dead indifference, to grind me limb from limb.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 2, ch. 7 (1834)

  14. A quotation from C. C. Colton

    There are some truths, the force and validity of which we readily admit, in all cases except our own; and there are other truths so self-evident that we dare not deny them, but so dreadful, that we dare not believe them.

    Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
    Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 370 (1820)

  15. Do #Religious People Fear #Atheists

    youtube.com/watch?v=fMm0LI6V-KU

    It’s not always about #anger or #rejection — sometimes, it’s about what #disbelief represents. In this video, we explore the deeper #psychological, #cultural, and #emotional roots of that #fear. From inherited narratives to #socialpressure, from #moral assumptions to #personalidentity, we unpack why living without #religion can be seen as a threat — even when it’s lived peacefully.

  17. CW: Spoilers for ep1 and ep2 of The Eternaut

    I'm also reading the comic book in the original Spanish, helped by a dodgy English translation. I'm half-way through the first book.

    There are changes that I like.

    Then there are changes that I dislike:

    * The TV show nerfed the snow by a lot. Seeing as the book has the snow killing you *on contact*, I found a couple of scenes jarring. In ep1, I think it was Juan who has to cross a space where the snow is falling. It seemed to me he should have died right there and then.... but the plot needs him. In ep2, the folks in the train should be dead. I cannot believe that they've not been reached by the snow.

    * Favalli ("Tano") has been turned from man of cold logic into a crybaby.

    * He's also been turned into a magician. In ep2 he cuts off the prongs of a record player, and hooks it up to a battery. Lo and behold, the record player starts playing.... How this works is pure magic. See, the player takes AC, whereas the battery delivers DC. So the only way this can work is if magic is involved.

    So far the TV show is a mixed bag.

  18. The #Film #Heretic Reveals the Dark Side of #Religion vs #Secularism

    youtube.com/watch?v=pUSXrGEVl14

    You’re faced with a terrifying question: #belief or #disbelief? This video dives deep into the provocative #movie Heretic, exploring the existential choice between #religious belief and #nihilism. What happens when religion isn't true but still fulfills human needs for meaning, community, and purpose?

  19. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    “Huh! Priests!” said Mr. Shoe. “They’re all the same. Always telling you that you’re going to live again after you’re dead, but you just try it and see the look on their faces!”

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Reaper Man (1991)

  20. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

  21. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Men and women have been burned for thinking there is but one God; that there was none; that the Holy Ghost is younger than God; that God was somewhat older than his son; for insisting that good works will save a man without faith; that faith will do without good works; for declaring that a sweet babe will not be burned eternally, because its parents failed to have its head wet by a priest; for speaking of God as though he had a nose; for denying that Christ was his own father; for contending that three persons, rightly added together, make more than one; for believing in purgatory; for denying the reality of hell; for pretending that priests can forgive sins; for preaching that God is an essence; for denying that witches rode through the air on sticks; for doubting the total depravity of the human heart; for laughing at irresistible grace, predestination and particular redemption; for denying that good bread could be made of the body of a dead man; for pretending that the pope was not managing this world for God, and in the place of God; for disputing the efficacy of a vicarious atonement; for thinking the Virgin Mary was born like other people; for thinking that a man’s rib was hardly sufficient to make a good-sized woman; for denying that God used his finger for a pen; for asserting that prayers are not answered, that diseases are not sent to punish unbelief; for denying the authority of the Bible; for having a Bible in their possession; for attending mass, and for refusing to attend; for wearing a surplice; for carrying a cross, and for refusing; for being a Catholic, and for being a Protestant; for being an Episcopalian, a Presbyterian, a Baptist, and for being a Quaker. In short, every virtue has been a crime, and every crime a virtue. The church has burned honesty and rewarded hypocrisy. And all this, because it was commanded by a book.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
    Lecture (1874-05-03), “Heretics and Heresies,” Free Religious Society, Kingsbury Hall, Chicago

  22. A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

    There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes second to achievement.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
    Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

  23. A quotation from Addison, Joseph:

    «
    When I consider the Question, Whether there are such Persons in the World as those we call Witches? my Mind is divided between the two opposite Opinions; or rather (to speak my Thoughts freely) I believe in general that there is, and has been such a thing as Witchcraft; but at the same time can give no Credit to any Particular…

    When I think of #Evangelical #Christianity, two concepts come to mind: intense #psychological traps, and the danger of glossing over and missing a true appreciation for the one life we know that we have."
