What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Religion poisons everything. The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks. " What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence." " I don't do religion." " Religion poisons everything." " The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks." " The only thing that can be said for certain about the future is that it will be different from the past." I don't believe in belief. " The only thing that can be said for religion is that it is a great source of comfort to the afflicted." " I don't think that the world is a better place for the existence of religion." That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. |
