A life long anti-theist who cannot get his head around the lunacy, and willful ignorance of theists.
Theism is the most destructive force on the planet, and will not be satisfied until the complete annihilation of man is complete
"First, I've said repeatedly that religion cannot be taken away from people, it is their favourite toy, and it will remain so as long as we're afraid of death and have that problem which is, I think, will likely be a very long time.
Second, I hope I've made it clear, that I'm perfectly happy for people to have these toys, and to play with them at home, and hug them to themselves and so on, and to share them with other people who come around and play with the toys. So that's absolutely fine. They are not to make me play with these toys. I will not play with the toys. Don't bring the toys to my house, don't say my children must play with these toys, I'm not going to have any of that"
