There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - Douglas Adams

 

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. - Douglas Adams

 

Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. - Douglas Adams

Men jeg håper med tanke på hvor på forumet vi befinner oss at vi holder oss til sitater om religion, filosofi og livssyn?

[CypheroN]

Tenkte på det, men måtte bare ta det >_<

Da slenger jeg ut denne isteden da.

 

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.

Jeg synes dette sitatet fra Richard Dawkins er ganske inspirerende;

 

You could give Aristotle a tutorial. And you could thrill him to the core of his being. Aristotle was an encyclopedic polymath, an all time intellect. Yet not only can you know more than him about the world. You also can have a deeper understanding of how everything works. Such is the privilege of living after Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Planck, Watson, Crick and their colleagues.

 

Og for meg som lengter tilbake til den gangen det republikanske partiet var ekte konservative er dette fra Barry Goldwater fantastisk;

On religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both.

I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?

And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of "conservatism."

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying.

 

I plan to live forever, or die trying

 

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

 

Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

 

Do something every day that you don't want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.

 

I am opposed to millionaires, but it would be dangerous to offer me the position.

 

In Paris they simply stared when I spoke to them in French; I never did succeed in making those idiots understand their language.

 

Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.

 

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Michael Shermer, "profet" og grunnlegger av The Skeptics Society:

 

Within a decade, maybe two or three, Christians will come around to treating gays no differently than they now treat other groups whom they previously persecuted — women, Jews, blacks — but not because of some new interpretation of a biblical passage, or because of a new revelation from God. These changes will come about the same way that they always do: by the oppressed minority fighting for the right to be treated equally, and by a few enlightened members of the oppressing majority supporting their cause.

Then what will happen is that Christians will take credit for the civil liberation of gays, dig through the historical record and fine a few Christian bloggers or preachers who had the courage and the character to stand up for Gay rights when their fellow Christians would not, and then cite those as evidence that were it not for Christianity gays would not be equal.

If you look into science, you will find a sense of intricacy, depth, and exquisite beauty which, i believe, is more powerful than the offerings of any bureau-cratic religion.

dette er kanskje en av de viktigste fra den moderne tiden

 

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
