The Cedarville Vision

Around the office, whenever I see a Christian, I scream and run away like a little girl.

We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. . . . I think that religion stops people from thinking.

Bill Maher

Christianity is a religion for losers. Ted Turner

“I have a problem with religion or anything that says, ‘We have all the answers,’ because there’s no such thing as ‘the answers.’ We’re complex. We change our minds on issues all the time. Religion leaves no room for human complexity.”
