Mechanism For Manipulation
“Functionally the soul is a mechanism for manipulation. It is a pretend reward for following the rules and it’s a means to punish those who seemingly don’t follow the rules; it gives a false sense of justice for the evil in the world. There is no consistency, it needs to be exactly that think that will sell religion and that is a of Christianity.”
– Don Baker
Phillip Adams
Devoid of Deity
“I’ve spent a life-time attacking religious beliefs and have not wavered from a view of the universe that many would regard as bleak. Namely, that it is a meaningless place devoid of deity.”
– Phillip Adams

“I don’t know how we can fix a world where people have been so convinced that they are doing the right thing out of compassion and love and trying to help people, when it is absolutely destructive.”
– Matt Dillahunty
