Twenty times, in the course of my late reading, have I been on the point
of breaking out, `this would be the best of all possible worlds, if there
were no religion in it!' But in this exclamation, I should have been as
fanatical as Bryant or Cleverly. Without religion, this world would be
something not fit to be mentioned in public company--I mean hell.
-- John Adams

observations. -- John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods Market

Just as with sex and ambition and all other instincts, what must be taught
about violence is when it is right to use it. For if we never engage in
moral violence, it is as certain as anything in life can be that immoral
violence will rule the world. -- Dennis Prager

People say we ought not to allow ourselves to be drawn into a theoretical

Fortune Quote #3541
There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of higher order
than the right to life. I do not share that view. I believe that life is
not private, but rather it is public and universal. If one accepts the
position that life is private, and therefore you have the right to do with
it as you please, one must also accept the conclusion of that logic. That
was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or
treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and
therefore outside of your right to concerned. -- Rev. Jesse
Jackson, 1977

Psychiatrists, social workers and doctors often argue for abortion on the
basis that the child will grow up mentally and emotionally scarred. But
who of us is complete? If incompleteness were the criteria for taking life
we would all be dead. If you can justify abortion on the basis of
emotional incompleteness then your logic could also lead you to killing for
other forms of incompleteness -- blindness, crippleness, old age.
