God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely. <br/><br/>The only sense to make of tragedies like this is that terrible things can happen to perfectly innocent people. This understanding inspires compassion. <br/><br/>Religious faith, on the other hand, erodes compassion. Thoughts like, “this might be all part of God’s plan,” or “there are no accidents in life,” or “everyone on some level gets what he or she deserves” - these ideas are not only stupid, they are extraordinarily callous. They are nothing more than a childish refusal to connect with the suffering of other human beings. It is time to grow up and let our hearts break at moments like this.”  ― Sam Harris</p> <p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/atheistsblog" target="_blank"><strong>Follow me on twitter @atheistsblog</strong></a></p>http://atheistsblog.tumblr.com/post/16515331606http://atheistsblog.tumblr.com/post/16515331606Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:30:00 +0200atheistatheismreligiongodatheistsagnosticquotesam harrisfaith<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx6i5p7uHY1r0go7xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>We were born too soon to explore the cosmos and too late to explore the earth.
