The same guy that said: "If children prayed together, would they not
understand what they have in common, and would this not, indeed, bring
them closer, and is this not to be desired? So, I submit to you that
those who claim to be fighting for tolerance on this issue may not be
tolerant at all. "

"Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the
conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world
that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a
coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and
cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God,
then we will be a nation gone under."


Selling arms to the Iranians and using the proceeds to fund the
Nicaraguan Contras was certainly virtuous and a prompting of conscience,
about as pure as, say, a major church's highest officials hiding the
pedophilia rampant among its priesthood.

As an agnostic, I can state without hesitation that whether there is a
god is and shall remain beyond my knowledge. But there is no question
that organized religion is bull****.
