When we talk about values, I think of rationality in solving problems. That’s something I value. Fairness, kindness, generosity, tolerance. When they talk about values, they’re talking about things like going to church, voting for Bush, being loyal to Jesus, praying. These are not values.
–Bill Maher (via ieatcatlitter and mry) (via soupsoup) (via evangotlib)
So obnoxiously smug. Religious people — I am not now one of them, but even so I can say this — have real values. About treating people fairly. About being good to those around them. About the Golden Rule. Charity. We can continue.
Some religious people are bad people, and some atheists are good people. Religious people have values. Atheists have values. It’s funny — each side seems to miss these simple facts about the other.
(via mikehudack)
Completely agree with Mike’s statement.
Ironic how Maher talks about valuing fairness, kindness, generosity, and tolerance and then in the same breath bashes people for what they believe.
Religion is a very personal matter and has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a person has values. And then, whose values?
