Random Quote
(Complete listing)Atheists are often charged with blasphemy, but it is a crime they cannot commit… When the Atheist examines, denouces, or satirises the gods, he is not dealing with persons but with ideas. He is incapable of insulting God, for he does not admit the existence of any such being… We attack not a person but a belief, not a being but an idea, not a fact but a fancy.
[G.W. Foote, "Who are the Blasphemers?" in Flowers of Freethought]

I be cryin' into me ale, ye swabbies. Its a lecture on the integument I has to be presenting on the morrow, and I canna use the piratical tongue wi' the scurvy landlubbers, or they'll be whining to the Royal Navy.
A frigate I'd be rakin' fore and aft, but when a first rate opens her gunports, I know when I'm out-manned.
Yarrr.
