"You cannot force someone to believe something they do not believe, you can only manage to force them to speak or act as if they do."
"Our group takes what I'll call a Post-Atheist stance. Our position is that god is a creation of human beings, who only exists because of the clap-hands-if-you-believe-in-fairies principle.

However, unfortunately, billions of human beings are still prepared to defend their belief in some sort of god-fairy, and, as a result, god exists. What's worse is that he is now running amok."

And then I found the most dangerous folks are those who have nothing to lose, and I put it all together."
"When my problems seem overwhelming and impossible to solve, I hold fast to these facts: God is real, He is right, and He cares."

"My point is cutting spending shouldn't be reliant on the debt limit though. It's something we have to do. The good news for America is, leaders in both parties, the president, believe that we have to have significant deficit reduction. So the intent is there. And I think what America is going to demand is that our leaders come together."
