We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent or omniscient - that we are only 6 percent of the world's population; that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind; that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity; and therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.

--L. Ron Hubbard Jr. (the son of the founder of Scientology)

Even if Hitler and Stalin were atheists, they didn't do their terrible deeds in the name of their atheism anymore than they did them in the name of their moustaches. But I want to make an additional point. It's extremely hard to think of any rational person killing in the name of atheism, but it's very easy to think of a rational person killing in the name of religion. How could it ever be rational to kill in the name of atheism? It would not be rational for anybody to do so whereas it would be very easy to be rational to kill in the name of religion.
--Richard Dawkins

Cynical much?
-
You don't know when you began grieving,
When you became a cynic,
How you forgot what made you happy,
While thinking of what didn't.
