" It is no defense of superstition and pseudoscience to say that it brings solace and comfort to people.

"

          - Isaac Asimov

          - Paul-Henri Thiry

" The one humanity, and the fundamental claims of humanity have to take precedence over the conflicting claims of religion. "

          - Wole Soyinka

" When human affairs are so ordered that there is no recognition of God, there is a belittling of man. That is why, in the final analysis, worship and law cannot be completely separated from each other. "

          - Pope Benedict XVI
