Random Quote
(Complete listing)Scientific education and religious education are incompatible. The clergy have ceased to interfere with education at the advanced state, with which I am directly concerned, but they have still got control of that of children. This means that the children have to learn about Adam and Noah instead of about Evolution; about David who killed Goliath, instead of Koch who killed cholera; about Christ's ascent into heaven instead of Montgolfier's and Wright's. Worse than that, they are taught that it is a virtue to accept statements without adequate evidence, which leaves them a prey to quacks of every kind in later life, and makes it very difficult for them to accept the methods of thought which are successful in science.
[J.B.S. Haldane]

Saw him last fall, he said he'd been in and out of hospitals, he wasn't looking too good. I sure hope he has at least another ten years in him.

The most anti-religious people I know are lapsed Catholics. I wonder why (sarcasm alert).
Mort Sahl just turned 80.

Thanks for posting this. It is hillarious. Funnily enough I was mentioned this show to a pastor friend today - I have now emailed to them. (The only pastor's I deal with have a great sense of humor).

Happy birthday to George, and I want to personally thank you for not writing, "happy belated birthday," and thus preventing me from having to scream, "IT'S THE GREETING THAT'S LATE, NOT THE BIRTHDAY!!!"

Thank Joe that this man is still alive! I hope he outlives Pat Buchanan

Thanks for posting this!
I didn't know this was on Youtube.
I'd already listened to it, but to see him perform it is glorious.
I especially like how (in the end) he distinguishes between those who literally believe everything, and those who merely look to the Bible for "moral lessons",
and then mentions the 3 little swine as a better guide.
Superb.
