(Good one, Shane.

I love the quotes on your site:
“Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” —George Carlin
“‘Thou shalt not kill.’ Murder. The fifth commandment. But if you think about it, religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. No, more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason. All you have to do is look at slavery, the Middle East, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, and the World Trade Center, and you’ll see how seriously the religious folks take ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ The more devout they are, the more they see murder as negotiable.” —George Carlin
“First the Nazis came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.” —Pastor Martin Niemoller
“You might think it hard to come up with anything nice to say about Islam, but I can think of a few things. Firstly, I like their symbol, the crescent moon. I find it much more attractive than the cross, probably because it doesn’t have anybody nailed to it.” —Pat Condell
“Of course, I have to balance these doubts against the counterargument, which is, ‘But it’s in the Bible, so it must be true, because the Bible is the word of God, because it says it is, so it must be true, because the Bible is the word of God,’ etc., etc. Clearly for some people, God doesn’t move so much in mysterious ways, as in ever-decreasing circles.” —Pat Condell
“Hey, I don’t want to get abusive here, because that creates enemies. On the other hand, you’re already my enemy, so what the hell, you murdering lump of slime!” —Pat Condell, to Osama bin Laden
“Now, thanks to the sacred war on freedom—I mean, terror—America has something called the Patriot Act, which is essentially a charter for fascism in the land of the free. It could have been written by Hitler, somebody with whom I think you [Osama bin Laden] would have alot in common. After all, a bunker, or a cave, ultimately, there’s only one way out, isn’t there?” —Pat Condell
“I think if Hell does exist, it’s probably...something more subtle that consumes from within, something like eternal regret, perhaps, something not done, not challenged, not risked, not loved enough. Or maybe it’s just burning in fire.” —Pat Condell
