'Faith allows an evasion of those difficulties which the atheist confronts honestly. And to crown all, the believer derives a sense of great superiority from this very cowardice itself. From an immense height he stretches out a charitable hand to us: 'One day the voice of God will reach you: I am certain of it.' If one were to reply, 'I hope that one day you will stop talking humbug to yourself,' he would be scandalised.' – Simone de Beauvoir
For Bible literalists there is always an enemy to be defeated in mortal combat. - John Shelby Spong
"The Bible is inerrent ... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallable, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas of geography, science, history, etc."
Jerry Falwell
