A simple Punjabi Jatt

a few favourite quotes that do reflect where I am coming from:

"I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world".

"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."

"so much for 'justice' or 'love' in heaven: life is as it is, and the gods simply like to hear it contrasted with their own immortal ease, much as aristocrats on earth might listen to songs of the toils of the lower classes (from a 6th century BC Greek hymn)
