Daniel Dennett quotes about
religious thinking taught-us
I don't think the 9/11 attacks taught us anything we didn't already know about religion. It has long been obvious - even to the deeply religious - that religious fanaticism is an extremely dangerous deranger of otherwise sane and goodhearted people.
expression revolutionary given
Some of the greatest, most revolutionary advances in science have been given their initial expression in attractively modest terms, with no fanfare.
religious atheist crazy
True, you don't have to be religious to be crazy, but it helps.
lasts mystery consciousness
Human consciousness is just about the last surviving mystery.
religious wall thinking
I don't think there is any religious revival. I think what we are hearing, the furor, is merely the hysterical response of the churches the handwriting on the wall that they are seeing.
