User:Albatross2147

Thanks to the activities of this administrator and his mindless bot I have left Wikipedia and am no longer a donor.

Please click here to leave me a new message.

I have a life and may not respond swiftly to queries - probably not at all. Particularly I normally don't respond to anything written by those who suggest I should assume good faith or be civil or if they are pathetic deletionistas. Although some anally retentive tories find that being told something like "go and stick your head up a dead bear's bum" is upsetting they may assume that this is my default response to their dribblings.

Far too many User's pages here on Wikipedia reveal that they are sad and pathetic. They have quotes from the text book of their crutch errr... belief system such as the Bible front and centre. I have decided if you can't beat 'em you might as well join 'em so here for your delectation are a few memorable verses errr... quotes.

• You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe. - Carl Sagan
• You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend - Richard Jeni
• The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin
• All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. - Thomas Paine
• Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. - Thomas Jefferson
• The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus…will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. - Thomas Jefferson
• It is science that discovers frauds within its ranks. That is the very reason science can be trusted. Fundamentalists always miss that point. Religion doesn’t appreciate critical review. If it did, it would self destruct. The unexamined belief is not worth believing. - Anon

You have to put them into a gallery like this in case some one deletes from an article and a lunatic or their equally mindless robot deletes the file as an "orphan".
