Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits

Religions change, but beer and wine remain

. . . there is no perfect knowledge which can be entitled ours, that is innate; none but what has been obtained from experience, or derived in some way from our senses.

The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, that my friends, that is true perversion!

(I quit) mainly because it was so socially unacceptable. Religion had a lot to do with it. When you go to other cities, it seems like there are a lot more people smoking out in the open, and it's not so looked down upon.

If freedom once required a secular critique of religion, it can also require a religious critique of the secular.
