Clarence Darrow:
I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means.

Thomas Jefferson:
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 blind-folded fear.

It is wrong always, everywhere and for everyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence
W.K. Clifford
If there is a God who will damn his children forever, I would rather go to hell than to go to heaven and keep the society of such an infamous tyrant. I make my choice now. I despise that doctrine. It has covered the cheeks of this world with tears. It has polluted the hearts of children, and poisoned the imaginations of men. It has been a constant pain, a perpetual terror to every good man and woman and child. It has filled the good with horror and with fear; but it has had no effect upon the infamous and base. It has wrung the hearts of the tender, it has furrowed the cheeks of the good. This doctrine never should be preached again. What right have you, sir, Mr. clergyman, you, minister of the gospel to stand at the portals of the tomb, at the vestibule of eternity, and fill the future with horror and with fear? I do not believe this doctrine, neither do you. If you did, you could not sleep one moment. Any man who believes it, and has within his breast a decent, throbbing heart, will go insane. A man who believes that doctrine and does not go insane has the heart of a snake and the conscience of a hyena.

The observer creates the nature of reality.
Consciousness is all there is.
The outer world is a reflection of the inner world.
Mind as Matter.
The only limit, is no limit.
You are God, wake up.
Christ consciuosness is atainable in one lifetime and was intended to happen this way. We messed it up.

There is no way for anyone to know what exists beyond death. Even those who have "come back from the dead" only talk about a vague "white light". I don't have all the answers, and I resent anyone who insists on preaching to me.
