my heroes have neat quotes

im currently at work being paid to be bored out of my skull... so i thought id put up a post about one of my heroes...steven weinberg. he kicks ass. in 1979 he won a nobel prize for his work in physics for combining electromagnetism and the weak force into the electroweak force. and he is an atheist.

so i thought i would put up a couple of quotes from him.

"I hope this long sad story, fueled by the progression of priests, ministers and rabbis will come to an end. If science can contribute to this end, it will be the most important contribution we can make, that we see no more of priests, ministers and rabbis. Religion is complete nonsense and terribly damaging to human civilization."

"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

That's such an awesome quote. We needto get rid of religions in this country. Only a society firmly based on science has the potential for peace. We should start getting rid of religious people so that no one will practice religion anymore. I think that's the answer.

maybe. personally im all for education. if people were introduced to science at a young age we would be a lot better off and certainly a lot less religious.
