About the brazilian title for God a Delusion
Deus um Delirio. Delirio indeed meens delirium.
And it's been a huge hit down here in Brazil,
where unfortunately evangelists grow at the same rates as rabbits breed due to increasing poverty and ignorance. We are swamped with evangelic politicians stuck in corruption scandals all over the country.
The previous Rio de Janeiro government made several attempts to install the teaching of creationism in public schools but with no final success.

Quotes of Note:

"Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."

Thomas Jefferson

"The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born."

Mark Twain

"There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

Richard Dawkins

"We admit that we are like apes, but we seldom realise that we are apes."

Richard Dawkins

"They said God was on high and he controlled the world and therefore we must pray against Satan. Well, if God controls the world, he controls Satan. For me, religion was full of misstatements and reaches of logic that I just couldn't agree with."

Gene Roddenberry
