"He occasionally stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened."
- On Stanley Baldwin
"An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer."

Try:
The more I study religion, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.

I see that the poster of this quote didn't attribute the quote...or do you have another source?
Originally posted by MaustrauserI was under the impression he attributed it to Winston. If you don't think it's correct, I'll fix it to read Anonymous.

A couple which I think are worthy of this little game of tennis Darfius wishes to play:
"I wish to propose for the reader's favourable consideration a doctrine which may, I fear, appear wildly paradoxical and subversive. The doctrine in question is this: that it is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatever for supposing it true." - Bertrand Russell
"My spell-checker lacks the word 'creationism' in its dictionary, so each time that word is encountered, an alternative pops up at the bottom of my screen, 'cretinism'" - E.T. Babinski
and my personal favourite...
"Remember there is a big difference between kneeling down and bending over" - Frank Zappa (Heavenly bank account, 1981)
