Quote of the Day: Intellectual Insurgent

“All the “good” books have wisdom. No doubt. They all offer some semblance of guidance for the spiritual dilemmas of this world. But the idea that God created a planet of billions of people who speak different languages and developed different philosophies, but then made only one of the belief systems correct is absurd. If there is a God, I would like to think it would not be so unjust. I would like to think that God would be good and kind and fair. I would like to think that God would care about spiritual dedication, not mindless ritual. If there is a God, and if he gave humans brains in order to make us superior to the rest of the animal kingdom, I would like to think that God would be horrified by humanity’s willingness to surrender their brains in the name of religion.”
