Didn't someone once compare Pascal's Wager with the hucksterism of a used car salesman?

I, for one, would be proud to be called Bertrand Russell's parrot!

Something else that strikes me. Whenever Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, Dennett etc are interviewed they are asked, however briefly, to explain their position and give some kind of evidence. The same is almost never asked of the Theists.

"That fossil isn't proof of evolution! God just wanted to see what a fish would look like with shoes on."

I'm so glad that in my science class in college my teacher said (after explaining evolution):
"Well that's Evolution. Now to demonstrate Creationism."
He then took out a bible and started hitting one of the kids in the front of class why yelling "God did it!"

5. Wisdom From The Founding Rationalists

gkkalai - As far as the founding fathers being hypocrites, Jefferson, at least, was greatly troubled by the hypocrisy of calling all men equal and still having slaves. In his writing he talks about it a lot. It came down to his convincing himself that slavery would be abolished "eventually." A sort of mental, and moral, bending backwards.
