More quotes by PZ Myers
Religion is an act of sedition against reason. Whatever religion is most seductive and likely to draw in victims to surrender their skepticism is the worst.
PZ Myers
Science provides tangible evidence of its accuracy and importance. Religion makes excuses for its absence of the same.
PZ Myers
Science is not infallible, but it has something religion lacks: a process of testing claims against real-world observations.
PZ Myers
If you've got a religious belief that withers in the face of observations of the natural world, you ought to rethink your beliefs - rethinking the world isn't an option.
PZ Myers
religion is to misogyny as disease is to misery - not the sole cause, but a significant contributor
PZ Myers
The hypothesis of the supernatural and/or a supreme being is vague, unfounded, and inapplicable in any practical fashion
PZ Myers
We live our lives for our life's sake, rather than for illusions about rewards and satisfaction after we're dead.
PZ Myers
Human beings are still fish.
PZ Myers
Silence is an argument in favor of the status quo. A refusal to address an inequity is a strategy for maintaining that inequity.
PZ Myers
Very clever people are often very clever at creating rationalisations for insane beliefs.
PZ Myers
We are not princes of the earth, we are the descendants of worms, and any nobility must be earned.
PZ Myers
The mediocrity principle simply states that you aren't special. The universe does not revolve around you this planet isn't privileged in any unique way your country is not the perfect product of directed, intentional fate and that tuna sandwich you had for lunch was not plotting to give you indigestion.
