“I spent 43 years believing in a false religion.
Now I want my 43 years as an atheist.
God owes me that.”

“As long as people want the Mormon Church to be true,
more than they are willing to face the possibility that it is not,
they will not entertain evidence or reason.
Delusion becomes a choice.”
Jim Whitefield

“You cannot work science around a predetermined belief system;
you can only work (or rework) a belief system around science,
current knowledge, and new evidence.
If you are not willing to do that, you believe in the fanciful
instead of understanding the factual – and that is delusional.”
