“ Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don’t have all the answers to think that they do… Anyone who tells you they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you: you don’t. How can I be so sure? Because I don’t know and you do not possess mental powers that I do not. The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble and that’s what man needs to be considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong. ”
“ Agnosticism and atheism answer two different questions. If someone asks you, “Is there a god?” and you say, “I don’t know,” that’s agnosticism. If someone asks you, “Do you believe in a god?” you have to answer yes or no. ”
