Can I give examples of non-thiests making dogmatic statements about faith and
God and religion? Are you serious? You may agree with the quote below. But
wether you do or don't misses the point of this entire thread.
"Since ancient times, the philosophers' secret has always been this: we know
that God does not exist, or, at least, if he does, he's utterly indifferent to
our individual affairs--but we can't let the rabble know that; it's the fear of
God, the threat of divine punishment and the promise of divine reward, that
keeps in line those too unsophisticated to work out questions of morality on
their own."
