Some of my favorite quotes.

I've been collecting quotes for awhile and these are the ones I especially like for their logic, humor, and the message they convey in such a short space. If you don't get it, you are not thinking. If you don't like it you might be too ideological, (or maybe I am for liking it). If you want to debate it, you are probably more political than I am (and I am pretty political). If you don't like quotes, you are not open minded. In any case, leave your thoughts...I like to know what and how other people think.

“Ask a deeply religious Christian if he'd rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don't seem so bad lately.”

- Scott Adams (1957 - ), The Dilbert Blog: Atheists: The New Gays, 11-19-06

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
