Arthur C. Clarke, rational atheist. |
"Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its
tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the non-existence
of Zeus or Thor - but they have few followers now."

Man is a marvelous curiosity, he thinks he is the Creator's pet, he even
believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to
admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to
him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea.
-- Mark Twain

Methinks he did not realize the potency of modern religions compared to
the old ones. These newer strains are quite potent and malicious.

That's because they evolved and are more immune to rational arguments.
