The very idea that we get a moral compass from religion is horrible. Not only should we not get our moral compass from religion, as a matter of fact we don't.

Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts which simply do not make evolutionary sense.

If the English language made any sense, lackadaisical would have something to do with a shortage of flowers.

All the warnings the founding fathers gave us about government proved to be true. We should have listened.

I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.
