Койн, Джерри Аллен: Цитаты на английском языке

“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?”

That’s the question you should always ask believers when they make unsupported assertions, ranging from “God is loving” to “Our souls live on after death.” The answer will always be one of two things: “The Bible says so,” or “I just know it to be true.” Neither of those are rational answers, but they satisfy the religious.
It is in fact the “how-do-you-know-that” query that really distinguishes New Atheism from Old. While atheists have always decried the lack of evidence for theism, it is the infusion of scientists and science-friendly people into atheism, starting with Carl Sagan and continuing on to Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Pinker, and Dennett, that has made us realize that religious dogmas are in fact hypotheses, and you need reasons and evidence for accepting them. If you have none, then you have no reason to believe in God.

“The question to ask believers is this: “Does it really matter whether what you believe about God is true—or don’t you care?””

If it does matter, then you must justify your beliefs; if it doesn’t, then you must justify belief itself.

“Religion and xenophobia go together like hot dogs and mustard.”
