Mine is Ghandi, when asked what he felt was wrong with the Christian faith:
"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ"
Any other great ones out there?

Mr Todd - I'm gonna have to ask for a definition of "hoopy frood". I love Adams, but don't quite recall that specific terminology. :)

Grr... I can't find the exact quote or the citation, but it's something like "For every believer by conscience, there are ten by inheritance."
So for a quote I can get exactly and cite, it's from the hoopiest frood of all, Douglas Adams: "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"

Philosophy is questions that would by no potential be responded. faith is solutions that would by no potential be questioned. Unknown faith has unquestionably confident individuals that there is an invisible guy -- living interior the sky -- who watches each little thing you do, each minute of daily. And the invisible guy has a particular checklist of ten issues he would not want you to do.. And in case you do any of those ten issues, he has a particular place, full of hearth and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, the place he will deliver you to stay and go through and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the tip of time! ..yet He loves you.

The day will come when after harnessing the winds the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for god the energies of love, and on that day, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

My two favorite quotes from Voltaire:
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
God is always on the side of the heaviest battalions.

"Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll to to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!" - George Carlin.

WIth or without religion you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. but, for good people to do evil things, it takes religion. <---i think thats weinberg....not sure.

I can't say it was a quote but the end sequence from The Messenger about the sword.
