“We are here because one odd group of fishes had a peculiar fin anatomy that could transform into legs for terrestrial creatures; because the earth never froze entirely during an ice age; because a small and tenuous species, arising in Africa a quarter of a million years ago, has managed, so far, to survive by hook and by crook. We may yearn for a ‘higher’ answer—-but none exists.“

Stephen Jay Gould (via thinkfree)

The only “higher” purpose is the one we make for ourselves.

David Miliband on Fareed Zakaria GPS

Miliband just stated he is an atheist and that one should be able to say that. How refreshing. It is sad that we are still years away from seeing the same thing here. Being able to have politicians not faking faith (or staying quiet about it) because if they don’t, they would never get elected.

Just try to think about what were you doing before you were born.You will be, most likely, doing the same thing after death.

Part of Sarah Palin’s irresistible appeal to her fundamentalist base is her ability to look at the camera with utter conviction and declare black to be white.

The ability to lie well is a valuable part of the fundamentalist psychology. My son isn’t gay, he just hasn’t found the right woman! Those rocks aren’t 50 million years old, they just look like it as a test of our faith! My sexless marriage isn’t foundering, it is filled with God’s spirit! The minister isn’t molesting little Maria, they’re just very close! It isn’t torture, it is being tough on terrorists!

Fundamentalists can recognize a truly audacious and talented liar from miles away. Instead of running the other way, as you might expect, they gather around the powerful liar, for they know that their own lies will be respected and protected by a leader who understands the paramount importance of preserving their whole system of denial.
