Criticism of Creationism by Philip Plait
“It’s dead obvious that creationism isn’t science, or even bad science. It’s nonsense. But I’ve long stated it’s also bad religion, because it doesn’t just take faith, it also takes a phenomenal disregard of reality.”
Philip Plait
Albert Jay Nock Quote on Immortality and Spiritual Life
“Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment.”

David Graeber on Labor Policy and Societal Impact
“Look at labor policy. What’s the point of making everybody work too much? It’s not very useful. It is destroying the planet, actually. But it’s great at keeping people off the streets.”

Quote by Samuel Adams on Liberty and Equality in the Declaration of Independence
“Before the formation of this Constitution it had been affirmed as a self evident truth, in the Declaration of Independence, very deliberately made by the Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled that ‘all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights’ This declaration of Independence was received and ratified by all the States in the Union & has never been disannuled. May we not from hence conclude, that the doctrine of Liberty and Equality is an article in the political creed of the United States.”
Samuel Adams
Samuel Adams Quote on Religion, Morals, and Liberty

Quote by David Graeber on Capitalism, Communism, and Community
“Within a capitalist corporation, someone says, “Lend me a wrench,” and someone asks, “Yeah, what do I get?” You assume that the idea of each according to his or her abilities, each according to his or her needs – in solving a problem – is actually the only thing that works. And in situations of disaster, there are often communistic notions of improvisation, where you basically exchange hierarchies and all of a sudden all those things that are luxuries that you can’t afford, you have them in an emergency.”
David Graeber
“Do Something for Somebody” – Quote by Albert Schweitzer
