An a-typical response from a severely troubled
individual with a history of bipolar disorder.

"Religious creeds encourage some of the craziest kinds
of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and favor severe
manifestations of neurosis, borderline personality
states, and sometimes even psychosis."
- Albert Ellis

(note: Anyone who doubts the efficacy of the quote by Ellis above need only
look
to the modern Middle East - both Jews and Islamics included in the
overall equation and example of the same!)

"Religion is the brainchild of fear, and fear is the
parent of cruelty. The greatest evils inflicted on
humankind are perpetrated not by
pleasure-seekers, self-seeking opportunists, or
those who are merely amoral, but by fervent
devotees of religion."
- Emmanuel Kofi Mensah

"The Christians say, that among the ancient Jews, if you
committed a crime you had to kill a sheep. Now they
say 'charge it.' 'Put it on the slate.' The Savior will
pay it. In this way, rascality is sold on credit, and the
credit system in morals, as in business, breeds extravagance."
- Robert Ingersoll

"The available divorce data show that marital breakdown
is now considerably more common in the Bible Belt than
in the secular Northeast. . . . The percentages of broken
families and unwed mothers remained higher in places
like Arkansas and Oklahoma than in New York
and Massachusetts."
- Joe Conason
