The best damned statement by an atheist ever
There are 49 more over at Left of Zen, but here’s the best of the best if I may be so bold:
If we go back to the beginning, we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them and [...]
