• Agnostics are people who, like myself, confess themselves to be hopelessly ignorant concerning a variety of matters, about which metaphysicians and theologians, both orthodox and heterodox, dogmatize with the utmost confidence.

• Al inculcar la noción de que el sacrificio es una virtud, el cristianismo ha logrado convencer a muchas personas de que la miseria en la que se incurre mediante el sacrificio es una marca de virtud. El dolor se convierte en la insignia de la moralidad y, a la inversa, el placer se convierte en la insignia de la inmoralidad. El cristianismo, por tanto, no dice: "Ve y sé miserable". Más bien dice: "Sal y practica la virtud del sacrificio". En términos prácticos, estos mandatos son idénticos.

  George H. Smith

  Pain, Sacrifice, Practice

• Pobre humanidad, cargar a los dioses con semejante responsabilidad y arrojarles un temperamento vengativo. ¡Qué penas incuban para sí mismos, qué llagas supurantes para nosotros, qué lágrimas para nuestra prosperidad! Esto no es piedad, este espectáculo repetido de inclinar la cabeza con velo ante una imagen esculpida; este bullicio ante cada altar; esta reverencia y postración en el suelo con las palmas extendidas ante los santuarios de los dioses; esta avalancha de voto sobre voto. La verdadera piedad reside más bien en el poder de contemplar el universo con una mente tranquila.

  Lucretius

  Lying, Grief, Responsibility

• El argumento del diseño es, en última instancia, una apelación a causas milagrosas, es decir, causas que no ocurren, ni pueden ocurrir, en el curso natural de los acontecimientos. Por eso la explicación mediante el diseño no es una alternativa legítima a la explicación científica ni a otros modos naturalistas de explicación. Referirse a una causa milagrosa es referirse a algo que es inherentemente incognoscible, y este santuario de la ignorancia no explica nada en absoluto. Por mucho que calme la imaginación del ignorante, no sirve para satisfacer el entendimiento de una persona racional.

• My colleague Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican, erroneously suggested that I support the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. That simply is not true. ... Unlike biological evolution, intelligent design is not a genuine scientific theory and, therefore, has no place in the curriculum of our nation's public school science classes.

• But if you will recall the history of our civil troubles, you will see half the nation bathe itself, out of piety, in the blood of the other half, and violate the fundamental feelings of humanity in order to sustain the cause of God: as though it were necessary to cease to be a man in order to prove oneself religious!

• Of the six men who have done most to make America the wonder and the joy she is to all of us, not one could be the citizen of a government so constituted; for Washington and Franklin and Jefferson, certainly the three mightiest leaders in our early history, were heretics in their day, Deists, as men called them; and Garrison and Lincoln and Sumner, certainly the three mightiest in these later times, would all be disfranchised by the proposed amendment. Lincoln could not have taken the oath of office had such a clause been in the Constitution.

• Like many people, I have no religion, and I am just sitting in a small boat drifting with the tide. I live in the doubts of my duty.... I think there is dignity in this, just to go on working.... Today we stand naked, defenseless, and more alone than at any time in history. We are waiting for something, perhaps another miracle, perhaps the Martians. Who knows?
