Ah, God. When will man ever realize there isn't one?

The best estimates of innocent human beings including children who were robbed, tortured and killed by good Christians are:
11 million during the Inquisition
9 million during the Crusades
And Robert Ingersoll, the Great Agnostic, is famous not only for being the greatest American orator of all time, but also for having a spotless reputation as a moral, industrious, caring, man, husband, and father.

Finally, a little light shines, Mr. Mann. Thank you for real facts and good sense.

Another criminal posting attributed to me by Liberty Tree above. If the unethical jerk who posts these comments can apply the name of anyone who has previously replied you can be sure it may happen to you.

Mike, religion has several meanings but for all practical purposes it includes a belief either in a god or in the teachings of a religious leader. I disbelieve in anything supernatural including gods but I don't like the definition of "atheist." It's not a realistic word just as 'aphilosopher' is not a word. Believe me, very few non-believers such as myself consider our beliefs have any relation to religion. Except, perhaps, that decent believers and non-believers alike share a respect for and practice what can be called the 'Golden Rule.'

The cause of god and gods is fear and imagination.

Editor:
You have the last word of course and my comments will be denied by you, but of course you and I know what kind of person you are. Anyone who repeats comments made seven years prior and to a different quotation is that kind of person. What a scum you are.

I did not send the quote above nor do I agree with it. This comment of mine was made months, maybe a year ago and had nothing to do with Reston's comments this time.
My comment this time is to all readers of Liberty Quotes is do not believe anything that appears above my name. The quotations above my name many times before and forever after will be false. The author of this program cheats by reprinting previous comments that have nothing to do with the current quotation.

Exactly, Mr. Clark. This quote is a stupid one. Without knowing more, it has no meaning.

Bullshit.

Excellent comment, jim k. The Bible is as full of hate and ignorance as it is of love and kindness. It is a book written by men who knew nothing of science and very little of common sense.
By the way, this blog will print comments that are years old and not even relevant to the quotation in consideration. Just stop making comments for six months and then check the replies. You may read comments you either cannot remember or are not your own.

Please also note that Chomsky is by the most reputable rankings the greatest intellect on the planet.

I think Liberty Tree will be sued the next time I find my name and statement beneath a quotation for which I did not make.

Bulllshit

No, Elizabeth, only Waffler. It's sad that the operators of the Liberty Tree print such blatant stupidity for quotations.

How can any literate American believe that blacks failed in protecting themselves? My God, the state and its militia crushed and killed blacks for two centuries. Does anyone actually think blacks could really have had a chance to win equality on their own????

Right on, Mike.

Hardly, Mr. Carlton. I am guilty of lacking sufficient cheer. But one of the causes is a statement like Mr.(or Ms.) McLaughlin's. Just how would you explain her sentence? What is her meaning?

Mike, I appreciate your asking a reasonable question although it wasn't necessary to accuse me of a philosophy that isn't mine. To see no real sense in the quotation indicative of my remark could be expressed by any number of thinkers of any kinds. The statement just simply doesn't make sense.What is expressed of each professional, organization, and of religion is both true and false. I can learn nothing from it except the fact that the writer must have no discernment whatsoever and a totally negative outlook.

Finally, some meaning. Elementary but worth a couple of stars.

Another waste of words and time.

Meaningless jibberish.

A fool and a scoundrel.

B.S. from an idiotic psychopath.

How sadly true.
