country atheist ideas
I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
boys males surprise
I hope it won't come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys.
making-money ifs recessions
If there's a recession, I'd buy stocks. That's when you make money: when markets are spooked.
christian religious america
Prime-time network television has become an island without religion in an ever-more-religious America.
new-york thinking evil
I am back in LA now. And I keep thinking back to my time in New York after the bombings.... I was crying so much I could not see, and the other diners joined in, and I thought, What do you do with such atheistic evil?
why-not telling-the-truth stealing
If there is no God, why bother to tell the truth? Why not steal?
successful people parent
My parents, products of the Great Depression, were successful people, but lived in a state of constant fear that my sister and I, and they, would sink into the kind of economic insecurity that their generation knew so well.

compassion people empathy
Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place- science leads you to killing people.
progress darwinism
And there hasn't been much progress in Darwinism since [the life of Darwin].
book reading men
[I did] Some [reading to prep for Expelled]. I read one book cover to cover, From Darwin to Hitler , and that was a very interesting book--one of these rare books I wish had been even longer. It's about how Darwin 's theory--supposedly concocted by this mild-mannered saintly man, with a flowing white beard like Santa Claus--led to the murder of millions of innocent people.
believe america asks
Neo-Darwinists ask us to believe in things not seen. We're not supposed to have an established religion in America, but we do, and it's called Darwinism .
people rich exception
People getting rich in a free society in general - with some scammy exceptions, which are rare - makes everyone else richer, too.
