Speaking of Religion.... (And unsolicited stock advisors)

So long as theologians keep within their proper bounds, science has no quarrel with them, for it is no more able to prove that they are wrong than they themselves are able to prove that they are right. But human experience shows that they never keep within their proper bounds voluntarily; they are always bulging over the line, and making a great uproar over things that they know nothing about.

~ H.L. Mencken

Absurdity...

It is Tertullian who is credited with the motto, Credo, quia absurdum est: I believe because it is incredible. Needless to say, he began life as a lawyer."

~ H. L. Mencken.

On philosophy.... (replace the word "philosphy" with stock advice and messiahs.... particularly the unsolicited kind.... as in "confused")

"Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all other philosophers are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself."

H. L. Mencken.

I love it !!
