Just Some Quotes About God

Some humorous ones at first, but then respectable ones second

  • "If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people." (By House :p)
  • "Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings."
  • "When I was a child, I prayed to god for a bicycle, then I realized that god doesn't work that way...so I stole one and prayed for his forgiveness." (Emo Phillips)
  • (About religion but applies to almost anything) "Never argue with a fool. He'll drag you down to his level then beat you with experience"
  • (Another one like that) “Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.”
Now some intelligent ones,

  • “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” Epicurus (BCE 341-270)
  • "The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
  • "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." Galileo Galilei
  • (The answer to people when they tell you: Yeah, but you can't disprove God either!)                     "You are never called upon to prove a negative, that is a law of logic." The great Ayn Rand!

Built-in Toothpaste Dispenser

I thought my first post should be about dispensing.


Although this is an almost totally-pointless gadget that will likely sell a mass volume of 3-4 units, it might serve some frequent travelers well.


The sad truth is that gadgets don't amaze us anymore. They have become categorized as television home shopping products where "bored" people go to "waste" their money on junk. We read about them, we blog about them, we link them to friends that read and blog and go "Oh cool", but thats about as far as they go. Hm.
