Sabbath Talk

No one has made me mad recently, so I took time to reflect on these:

“The trouble with the world today is that the ignorant are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.” – B. Russell

“There are scores of human insects who are ready at a moments notice to reveal the will of God on every possible subject.” - G. B. Shaw

“I respect the idea of God too much to hold it responsible for a world as absurd as this one.” – G Duhamel

“If God were suddenly condemned to live the life which He has inflicted upon men, He would kill Himself.” – A. Dumas

“I don’t believe in God because I don’t believe in Mother Goose.” – C. Darrow

“I read the book of Job last night. I don’t think God comes well out of it.” – V. Woolf

“The idea of a Supreme being who creates a world in which one creature is designed to eat another in order to subsist , and then pass a law saying “Thou shalt not kill,” is so monstrously, immeasurably, bottomlessly absurd that I am at a loss to understand how mankind has entertained or given it house room all this long.” - P. De Vries

“Pax vobiscum” – various Popes
