"NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF A GOOD STORY".................................   QUOTE..................-17/03/2008 MARKBRICK THE DAY HE GOT INVOLVED IN RUNNING DOGS :thumbs:

"When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion." - Robert Pirsig (1948-)

'give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day, give a man religion and he will starve to death whilst praying for a fish'

 

also one of Dawkins' 'without religion you have good people doing good things, and evil people doing evil things. To make good people do evil things takes religion' not exactly what he said but you get the point!

"Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient to burn women to death", Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World , 1996, Ballantine Press

I read nonsense about removing "toxins" all the time, but I have never seen any identification of what those "toxins" are supposed to be, much less any evidence that anything is removed by the recommended treatments, which include herbal remedies, diet regimens, bowel cleansers, massage, footbaths, electronic gadgets, you name it! Those "toxins" are as mythical as the Tooth Fairy. In fact, the Tooth Fairy makes more sense: I have some evidence for the Tooth Fairy, because, as a child, I saw the money under my pillow. I haven't seen a "toxin" yet.

Harriet Hall, M.D.
