Well said, Loren.
Love the Carl/Ken quotes too!
Comment by Loren Miller on October 1, 2012 at 9:12pm The only things I would add to your assertion of rationality (which is NOT a belief, BTW!) would be these two simple but powerful statements:
I don't want to believe; I want to know.
-- Carl Sagan
Faith is no reason.
-- Ken Peters, winner of the CFI Blasphemy Contest
We're not about belief without substance, nor are we about wishful thinking or baseless hope. We want to know the real score and we're not afraid to face it. Prayer, worship, and baseless faith are useless concepts which retard human advancement and tie it to outmoded and immature practices. They are no part of any atheist, and they never will be.
