More quotes by Greg Graffin
We delude ourselves into believing that morality comes from somewhere else, whereas in reality we behave as we've been told to behave.
Greg Graffin
So much of the habitat destruction and pollution is based on the simple principle that we somehow have been given free license over other species to degrade the planet.
Greg Graffin
You can't let your personal disposition be dictated by the world around you.
Greg Graffin
If there is no destiny, there is no design. There's only life and death. My goal is to learn about life by living it, not by trying to figure out a cryptic plan that the Creator had in store for me.
Greg Graffin
I don't think workaholic is in the dictionary as an affliction, but it's obviously someone who has a disease, and I don't feel diseased by it. I just think that I enjoy life and life has many offerings. I feel lucky to be able to have a forum to share a lot of these ideas.
Greg Graffin
It's not a random chance that we have Alanis Morissette. She didn't evolve out of a null and void. She came from a former template. She borrowed styles and sounds from a very limited set of other artists.
Greg Graffin
A fossil is so powerful. It's moving. This is my ancestor. The naturalist is moved by the fossil... not the cross.
Greg Graffin
I don't think anyone is going to Hell, because it only exists in the minds of people who wish ill will on others.
Greg Graffin
Society has to be structured such that there are checks and balances, so that it can't be manipulated, for instance, for the profit of just some multinational company who's going to get rich on trying to legislate the environment.
Greg Graffin
People need to understand the basics of evolution if they are going to reject it—otherwise, they are not contributing anything productive to modern society.
Greg Graffin
The thread of culture that runs through the entire history of punk is also a dedication to challenging the authoritarian.
Greg Graffin
You can't take up all the music bins at a CD retail outlet with Spice Girls CDs and leave nothing for the Joan Jett catalogue.
Greg Graffin
Unfortunately, the average guy on the street believes that studying evolution leads to atheism.
Greg Graffin
It gives evolutionary biologists great status if they champion competition and the economists have to consult them. The economists have to consult the evolutionary biologists, because they are the ones who invented the idea of competition. It comes from the field of evolution.
Greg Graffin
If you can believe in God, then you can believe in anything. It's a gang mentality.
Greg Graffin
It's extremely hard to get rid of any population. When they say polio is essentially wiped out, it's not. If we let up on the vaccinations, it will make a come back.
Greg Graffin
I want some fact-based evidence about where we came from. Things we consider mysterious need not be attributed to a deity.
Greg Graffin
Knowledge is organized data. For it to be shelved as human knowledge it's got to be predictable, repeatable, all the basics of scientific validation have to be there.
Greg Graffin
I believe in strong legislation for the environment. So the only question is being smart enough and educated enough to scrutinize the people who are writing the legislation, because there are plenty of ulterior motives out there.
Greg Graffin
I don't bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification.
