Steve Allen Frases famosas

“A Bíblia foi interpretada para justificar práticas más tal como, por exemplo, a escravidão, a carnificina de prisioneiros de guerra, os sádicos assassinos de mulheres acusadas de serem bruxas, punição capital por centenas de ofensas, poligamia e crueldade com animais. Foi usada para encorajar a crença na mais grosseira superstição e para desencorajar o livre ensino de verdades científicas. Nós não devemos nunca esquecer que, bem e mal, fluem da bíblia. Ela, portanto, não está acima da crítica.”

If you pray for rain long enough, it eventually does fall. If you pray for floodwaters to abate, they eventually do. The same happens in the absence of prayers.

“Crentes religiosos do mundo, vocês são livres para continuar a debater as questões mais simples, pontuando aspectos que os dividem dos ateus, mas não tem o direito, ao fazê-lo, de tratar os humanistas do mundo com desprezo. Vocês lhes devem uma profunda dívida de gratidão, pois eles não apenas lançaram muita luz sobre um mundo naturalmente sombrio, mas também muito provavelmente ajudaram a civilizar sua própria religião.”

“There are hundreds of millions who believe the Messiah has come. If he did, then it is unfortunately the case that his heroic sacrifice and death have had no effect whatsoever on the very problem his coming might have been expected to address, for history demonstrates, beyond question, that we Christians have been just as dangerous, singly and en masse, as non-Christians.”

“Religious believers of the world, you are free to continue to debate the simple, narrow question that divides you from atheists, but you have no right, in so doing, to treat the Humanists of the world with contempt. You owe them a deep debt of gratitude, for not only have they shed much light on a naturally dark world but they have very probably helped civilize your own specific religion.”

“The Bible has been interpreted to justify such evil practices as, for example, slavery, the slaughter of prisoners of war, the sadistic murders of women believed to be witches, capital punishment for hundreds of offenses, polygamy, and cruelty to animals. It has been used to encourage belief in the grossest superstition and to discourage the free teaching of scientific truths. We must never forget that both good and evil flow from the Bible. It is therefore not above criticism.”

“Without laughter life on our planet would be intolerable. So important is laughter to us that humanity highly rewards members of one of the most unusual professions on earth, those who make a living by inducing laughter in others. This is very strange if you stop to think of it: that otherwise sane and responsible citizens should devote their professional energies to causing others to make sharp, explosive barking-like exhalations.”
